T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.007 JavaScript

The PDF file contains an embedded URL that masquerades as a 'Pocket guide to APA style 6th ed'. This URL, https://kuzutuzo.ru/wix?keyword=pocket+guide+to+apa+style+6th+ed, is likely used to redirect the user to a malicious site. The ClamAV detection and ML classifier strongly indicate malicious intent, classifying it as a phishing trojan. While no scripts were directly extracted, the PDF structure and embedded URI suggest a common pattern for delivering secondary payloads.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Pdf.Phishing.Trojan-d2528dad23a95d95-d2528dad23a95d95-10044376-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Phishing.Trojan-d2528dad23a95d95-d2528dad23a95d95-10044376-0
  • 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.
