MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious Link

The primary heuristic, SE_ADVANCE_FEE_SCAM_LURE, strongly indicates a social engineering attack designed to defraud the user. While the document body is heavily obfuscated, the heuristic suggests the content is crafted to mimic a lottery or prize notification, requiring the user to pay fees or provide information to receive the supposed winnings. The presence of external URIs, even if some are confirmed benign, is typical for phishing documents that may link to further malicious content or host the lure itself.

Heuristics 4

  • Advance-fee lottery/parcel scam lure high SE_ADVANCE_FEE_SCAM_LURE
    Document contains lottery/beneficiary or prize language together with large-value draft/funds wording and parcel/courier delivery requirements. This is a classic advance-fee fraud document shape.
  • QR-code redirect lure medium SE_QR_LURE
    Document instructs the user to scan a QR code with a phone — consistent with QR phishing, but also common in legitimate documents
  • External URI info PDF_URI
    PDF contains an external URL action
  • 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.
