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

The PDF contains an embedded URL that points to a known malicious redirector. The ML classifier also flagged this PDF with high confidence. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains the same URL, suggesting an attempt to lure the user to a malicious site. No scripts were extracted, but the presence of a malicious redirector is a strong indicator of a phishing or malware delivery attempt.

  • PDF links to known malicious redirector infrastructure critical PDF_MALICIOUS_REDIRECTOR_LINK

  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
