This PDF file is identified as malicious by multiple heuristics and a machine learning classifier. It contains a link to a known malicious redirector, https://cctraff.ru/aws?utm_term=bangladeshi+song+ringtone, which is likely used to deliver a secondary payload. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, suggests a lure related to a "Bangladeshi song ringtone", and the presence of password protection instructions indicates an attempt to bypass gateway scanning. ClamAV also detected it as Pdf.Phishing.Trojan-d2568dad23a94d95-d2568dad23a94d95-10044375-0.

  • ClamAV: Pdf.Phishing.Trojan-d2568dad23a94d95-d2568dad23a94d95-10044375-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

  • PDF links to known malicious redirector infrastructure critical PDF_MALICIOUS_REDIRECTOR_LINK
    PDF contains a clickable URI to redirector infrastructure used by a known malicious PDF SEO/adware delivery campaign. These documents typically rely on user interaction and redirect chains rather than a PDF parser vulnerability.
  • 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
  • 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.
