MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.007 JavaScript

The file is a PDF document that contains an embedded URL. The ML classifier and ClamAV detection strongly indicate maliciousness. The embedded URL, https://traffnew.ru/123?utm_term=stygian+sherrilyn+kenyon+pdf+espa%25C3%25B1ol, likely serves as a lure to a phishing or malware distribution site, disguised by the document's content which appears to be a search result for a book. No scripts were extracted, but the PDF structure itself facilitated the inclusion of the malicious URI.

  • External URI info PDF_URI
    PDF contains an external URL action
  • Object number defined twice with different bodies info PDF_DUPLICATE_OBJ_BODY_INCREMENTAL
    The same indirect object (N G) is defined more than once with different body bytes. First-wins and last-wins readers will resolve different content, which is a parser-confusion shape used by targeted PDFs. Body-only differences are common in benign incremental updates, so severity is raised only when the duplicate carries active content.
  • 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.
