MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious File

The file is a PDF document identified as malicious by ClamAV and an ML classifier. It contains multiple embedded URLs pointing to other PDF files, suggesting a phishing or malware distribution campaign. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains references to 'PDFedit' and 'Birads o mammogram', potentially used as lures. The primary attack pattern involves tricking users into downloading further malicious content via the embedded links.

  • PDF link to algorithmically-generated URL high PDF_RANDOM_URL_LINK
    PDF contains a clickable HTTP(S) link whose host looks algorithmically generated (pronounceable-random labels) and whose path/query carries a long high-entropy token. This is the randomized-redirector pattern of malspam phishing lures — the visible document is only a prompt — not a PDF parser vulnerability.
  • External URI info PDF_URI
    PDF contains an external URL action
  • 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.
