MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF file contains an embedded artifact identified as the EICAR test signature. While EICAR is a benign test file, its presence within a document, especially when flagged as malicious, suggests that the document is designed to carry or deliver executable content. The embedded file is named 'eicar.com', which is a common indicator for testing antivirus or security controls.

  • Nyx PDF Classifier clean score 0.1345

Heuristics 3

  • ClamAV detection on extracted artifact critical EXTRACTED_FILE_CLAMAV
    ClamAV flagged at least one file extracted from inside this sample. Even when the wrapping document carries no AV detection of its own, a hit on the carved artifact is a strong indicator the sample is a delivery vehicle.
  • Embedded file low PDF_EMBEDDED
    PDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload
  • 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.
