MITRE ATT&CK
T1204.002 Malicious File T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF file was flagged by an ML classifier with high confidence as malicious. It contains multiple embedded URLs pointing to external resources, and a heuristic identified a social engineering lure related to browser extension installation. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains a reference to 'google play store app for android emulator' and one of the embedded URLs, which likely serves as the lure. No scripts were extracted from this sample.

Heuristics 4

  • Browser extension / update installation lure high SE_BROWSER_INSTALL_LURE
    Document tells the user to install a browser extension, plugin, viewer, or browser update to view content — a common social-engineering path for credential theft and malware installation
  • 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.
