MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The sample was identified as malicious by a ML classifier and ClamAV, indicating a high likelihood of malicious intent. The PDF contains embedded URLs that likely serve as lures or redirects to malicious sites. While no scripts were explicitly extracted, the PDF structure and embedded URLs suggest an attack pattern aimed at tricking users into visiting external resources, consistent with phishing or malware delivery. The presence of multiple embedded URLs points towards a campaign distributing malicious content.

  • ClamAV: Pdf.Phishing.Trojan-d2568dad23a94d95-d2568dad23a94d95-10044375-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

  • 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.
