The PDF was flagged by multiple heuristics as containing malicious content, specifically an embedded Flash (SWF) object. ClamAV detection confirms this, identifying it as 'Swf.Malware.Agent-7104323-0'. The PDF structure suggests it is image-only, likely a lure to entice users to interact with the embedded malicious Flash content.

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Swf.Malware.Agent-7104323-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Swf.Malware.Agent-7104323-0
  • RichMedia (Flash) high PDF_RICHMEDIA
    PDF contains /RichMedia (Adobe Flash) which is a historic exploit vector (matched inside decoded stream)
  • Embedded file low PDF_EMBEDDED
    PDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload (matched inside decoded stream)
  • PDF paints image(s) but contains no text operators info PDF_IMAGE_ONLY_LURE
    PDF has 2 image XObject(s) and the content stream contains no text-emitting operators (BT/ET, Tj, TJ, ', ") in either raw bytes or decompressed streams — this is the screenshot-as-PDF pattern used to bypass text-based scanners and to deliver instructions purely through rendered pixels. It is informational unless paired with invisible links or risky URI context.
  • 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.
