MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The file was detected as malicious by ML classifiers and ClamAV, specifically flagged as a phishing trojan. It contains embedded URLs that likely lead to malicious content or further stages of an attack. Although no scripts were explicitly extracted, the PDF structure and embedded URIs suggest an attempt to redirect the user to external resources, aligning with phishing tactics.

  • 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.
