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

The file is a PDF document that contains an embedded URL. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, appears to be a lure related to 'Ap bio lab 6 cellular respiration answers'. The primary heuristic firing indicates an external URI, and ClamAV detection confirms this PDF is malicious, specifically flagged as 'Pdf.Phishing.Trojan'. The embedded URL is likely used to redirect the user to a phishing or malware distribution site.

  • 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.
