MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.007 JavaScript

The PDF file was flagged by ClamAV as Pdf.Phishing.Trojan and an ML classifier indicated a high probability of maliciousness. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains references to 'wkhtmltopdf' and 'Qt', suggesting it was generated by a tool. The presence of embedded URLs, particularly 'https://ponafet.ru/strik', strongly indicates a phishing or malware distribution attempt, likely leveraging the 'Sign of the Beaver' book title as a lure. No scripts were extracted, but the PDF structure itself facilitated the embedding of malicious links.

  • 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.
