MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The file is a PDF document flagged by ClamAV as a phishing trojan and also by an ML classifier. It contains an embedded URL pointing to 'https://catamma.ru/square?utm_term=the+digits+of+pi', which is likely the primary mechanism for delivering a malicious payload or conducting a phishing attack. No scripts were extracted, but the presence of an external URI and the detection names suggest a phishing or trojan distribution attempt.

  • External URI info PDF_URI
    PDF contains an external URL action
  • 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.
    URL https://catamma.ru/square?utm_term=the+digits+of+pi
