MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF was identified as an image-only lure with an action trigger, a common phishing technique. A high-severity heuristic specifically flagged an escaped URI within the PDF, pointing to the domain 'xephankhoilon.vn'. This URL is the primary indicator of malicious intent, likely serving as the destination for the phishing attempt.

Heuristics 2

  • Image-heavy PDF hides clickable URL with PDF string escapes high PDF_ESCAPED_URI_IMAGE_LURE
    PDF is image-heavy with little real text and its clickable HTTP(S) URI is encoded with PDF octal escapes. This combination is common in credential-phishing PDFs that render a screenshot-like prompt and obscure the destination from simple URL extractors.
  • Image-only document with action trigger (screenshot lure) medium PDF_IMAGE_LURE
    PDF has 2 image(s), only 0 text block(s), carries a click-outward action, and is only 91 KB — typical shape of a phishing lure where a full-page screenshot hides a clickable button that launches or submits to an attacker URL.
