MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The ClamAV heuristic identified this PDF as 'Pdf.Phishing.Trojan-d2568dad23a94d95'. The presence of multiple embedded URLs, even those flagged as benign, suggests an attempt to direct the user to external resources. While no scripts were explicitly extracted, the nature of the detection and the embedded URLs point towards a phishing or malicious content delivery vector, likely initiated via a spearphishing attachment.

  • 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.
