MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The file is identified as a malicious PDF dropper by ClamAV. It contains a heuristic firing for a URL shortener pointing to 'http://ow.ly/Ml5y30bILED', which likely leads to the actual malicious payload at 'http://newbalok.com/images/in/pdf/jk'. The presence of embedded URLs and the dropper classification suggest an intent to download and execute a second-stage payload.

    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7282899-0
  • Clickable URI uses URL shortener medium PDF_URL_SHORTENER_URI
    PDF contains a clickable HTTP(S) action whose destination is a URL shortener. This hides the final landing page from static review and is common in phishing redirect PDFs.
  • 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.
