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

The sample is a PDF file flagged by multiple heuristics, including ClamAV's Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject and a machine learning classifier, indicating malicious intent. It contains an embedded file, likely the primary payload. The obfuscated nature and embedded artifact suggest a delivery mechanism for a secondary stage.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
