MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The critical ClamAV heuristic indicates this PDF is a known dropper. The embedded URL heuristic and the presence of a URL shortener (ow.ly) suggest an attempt to redirect the user to a malicious site. The document body contains the URL http://bazurashop.com/pdf/confirm.php, which is likely the ultimate destination for the payload delivery.

  • Clickable URI uses URL shortener medium PDF_URL_SHORTENER_URI

  • 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.
