This PDF file was flagged by multiple heuristics as malicious, including ML classification and ClamAV detection, indicating it is a phishing or trojan delivery attempt. The presence of external URIs and a specific brand-impersonation lure suggests the intent is to deceive users into downloading a secondary payload. While no scripts were explicitly extracted, the PDF structure and embedded URLs point towards a common attack pattern for distributing malware.

  • Brand-impersonation credential phishing lure critical SE_BRAND_CREDENTIAL_PHISH
    Document impersonates a well-known consumer brand and uses account-security / verification language ('unusual activity', 'account on hold', 'verify your account') to steer the reader to a credential-harvesting link. Corroborated by: action link to abused redirector https://votewisuzub.weebly.com/uploads/1/3/4/6/134605747/1d5cdf6d.pdf.
  • 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.
