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

The PDF file exhibits characteristics of a malicious document, including a high stream count and the use of JBIG2 encoding for embedded images, which can be used for obfuscation. The ML classifier also flagged this PDF as malicious. While no specific malicious URLs or scripts were directly extracted, the PDF structure and heuristics suggest it's designed to deliver a payload, likely through the embedded images or a launch action. The benign URLs present are standard PDF metadata namespaces.

Machine Learning

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 0.7541

Heuristics 6

  • JBIG2Decode filter medium PDF_JBIG2
    JBIG2 image decoder present — historically used in zero-click exploits
  • Unusually high stream count medium PDF_MANY_STREAMS
    PDF contains 501+ stream objects — may indicate heap spray or heavy obfuscation
  • Launch action low PDF_LAUNCH
    PDF contains a /Launch action; all filespec targets are document files (cross-PDF navigation pattern, common in multi-part document bundles)
  • PDF paints image(s) but contains no text operators info PDF_IMAGE_ONLY_LURE
    PDF has 2 image XObject(s) and the content stream contains no text-emitting operators (BT/ET, Tj, TJ, ', ") in either raw bytes or decompressed streams — this is the screenshot-as-PDF pattern used to bypass text-based scanners and to deliver instructions purely through rendered pixels. It is informational unless paired with invisible links or risky URI context.
  • 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.
