MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The file is a PDF document flagged by multiple heuristics, including a critical ClamAV detection and an ML classifier, indicating malicious intent. The 'SE_PAYMENT_REDIRECT_LURE' heuristic strongly suggests a business email compromise (BEC) attack, aiming to trick recipients into believing there are new payment instructions. The embedded URL, 'https://traffset.ru/strik?utm_term=nickelodeon+slimefest+2020+blackpool', is likely part of this redirection or phishing attempt.

  • Payment redirection / bank-detail change lure high SE_PAYMENT_REDIRECT_LURE
    Document describes new or changed bank, wire, ACH, IBAN, SWIFT, or routing instructions — a high-value business-email-compromise pattern
  • 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.
