MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1071.001 Web Protocols

The PDF contains embedded files, specifically other PDFs, which is a common technique for delivering malicious payloads. The ClamAV detection 'Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7240204-0' strongly suggests its role as a dropper. While no specific URLs were flagged as malicious, the embedded nature of the files indicates a likely multi-stage attack where these embedded documents would initiate further malicious activity.

Heuristics 5

  • Embedded PDF child has suspicious static findings critical PDF_EMBEDDED_CHILD_STATIC_TRIAGE
    PDF contains an embedded PDF stream whose extracted child matches suspicious or malicious PDF heuristics. Wrapper PDFs are commonly used to hide the actual exploit or lure payload from scanners that do not recursively inspect attachments.
  • ClamAV: Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7240204-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7240204-0
  • Embedded file low PDF_EMBEDDED
    PDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload
  • Remote GoTo action info PDF_GOTO_REMOTE
    PDF has GoToR/GoToE actions that reference sibling document files — typical of multi-part document bundles
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
