MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1027 Obfuscated Files or Information

The PDF file exhibits critical heuristic firings indicating obfuscation and the presence of an embedded file. The ClamAV detection 'Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject' strongly suggests malicious intent through evasion techniques. The embedded file, 'embedded_file_obj0001.bin', is the likely payload delivery mechanism. No scripts were extracted, and the document body was unreadable, limiting further analysis of the specific lure.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject
  • Embedded file low PDF_EMBEDDED
    PDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload
  • XFA form low PDF_XFA
    PDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
  • Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
