MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The sample is a PDF document that uses a cloud document lure, impersonating services like SharePoint or OneDrive. It contains a shortened URL (https://is.gd/1qvsgx) which is a common tactic to obscure malicious destinations. The heuristic 'PDF_URL_SHORTENER_URI' confirms the presence of a URL shortener. The document's structure and embedded content suggest it's designed to prompt user interaction, likely to download a secondary payload.

Heuristics 4

  • Clickable URI uses URL shortener medium PDF_URL_SHORTENER_URI
    PDF contains a clickable HTTP(S) action whose destination is a URL shortener. This hides the final landing page from static review and is common in phishing redirect PDFs.
  • Cloud document impersonation lure medium SE_CLOUD_DOC_LURE
    Document impersonates a cloud file-sharing service such as SharePoint, OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, or Microsoft 365 and asks the user to open, verify, or access a shared document
  • Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
    One or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
  • 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.

Detection
ClamAV: No threats found
Obfuscation or payload: likely
69 of 135 identifiers look randomly generated (e.g. 'lbHZldGljYTt9CntcY29sb3J0Ymw7XHJlZDI1NVx') — consistent with name-mangling obfuscation. Carved artifact contains 28 long base64-like blob(s).
