MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.007 JavaScript

The PDF document was flagged as malicious by a machine learning classifier and ClamAV, indicating a phishing or trojan threat. It contains an embedded URL that, while appearing benign in reputation, is part of a larger set of suspicious URLs hosted on compromised or malicious domains. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, suggests a lure related to lawn mower issues, likely to trick users into clicking the embedded link. No scripts were extracted, but the presence of multiple suspicious URLs and the high ML score suggest it is designed to redirect users to a malicious site.

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.
