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

The PDF contains a large number of external links, identified as a 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' heuristic, pointing to various domains. The document body, though partially corrupted, mentions 'Class 11 biology ncert book pdf in hindi' and includes several URLs that appear to be lures for downloading PDF files. ClamAV detection as 'Pdf.Phishing.TtraffRobotInstall-7605656-0' further supports a phishing or malicious download intent.

  • 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.
