MITRE ATT&CK
T1059 Command and Scripting Interpreter T1566 Phishing

The PDF file contains a critical ClamAV detection for Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7252682-0. Static analysis revealed an embedded script payload and a hidden external HTML iframe, indicating an attempt to redirect the user to malicious content. The embedded script and iframe likely serve to download and execute a second-stage payload from the identified suspicious URLs.

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7252682-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7252682-0
  • PDF contains hidden external HTML iframe high PDF_HIDDEN_HTML_IFRAME
    PDF bytes contain a hidden zero-size HTML iframe pointing to an external HTTP(S) URL. This is a strong malicious dropper/redirect indicator and is not expected in ordinary PDF content.
  • Embedded script payload in PDF stream medium PDF_EMBEDDED_SCRIPT_PAYLOAD
    PDF stream bytes contain an HTML/XFA <script> tag without accompanying Windows shell-execution primitives — common in accessible XFA forms but worth surfacing for analyst review.
  • Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
    One or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
  • 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.
