MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious Link

The PDF contains multiple embedded URLs pointing to potentially malicious content. The 'SE_PASSWORD_ARCHIVE_LURE' heuristic indicates the document's intent is to trick the user into downloading a password-protected archive, likely to bypass security measures. The ML classifier strongly flagged this PDF as malicious. The document body contains references to Anaconda and wkhtmltopdf, which may be part of a social engineering lure.

Heuristics 4

  • Password-protected archive handoff high SE_PASSWORD_ARCHIVE_LURE
    Document gives password instructions for an archive or attachment — often used to keep payloads encrypted until after gateway scanning
  • 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.
