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

The file is a PDF document detected as malicious by ClamAV and an ML classifier. It contains multiple embedded URLs pointing to external PDF files. The document body, though partially garbled, includes text related to data interpolation and references the wkhtmltopdf tool, suggesting it might be a lure to disguise the malicious intent. The primary attack pattern involves directing users to download and potentially open further malicious content from these external links.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Pdf.Dropper.Agent-8722583-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Dropper.Agent-8722583-0
  • 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.
