MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious File

The sample is a PDF document that contains multiple external URIs pointing to other PDF files. The ClamAV detection and ML classifier strongly indicate malicious intent, specifically related to phishing. The document body references a sensitive topic ('Gosport war memorial hospital deaths report') to potentially entice users to click on the embedded links, which likely lead to further malicious content or exploits. No scripts were extracted from this sample.

  • PDF link to algorithmically-generated URL high PDF_RANDOM_URL_LINK
    PDF contains a clickable HTTP(S) link whose host looks algorithmically generated (pronounceable-random labels) and whose path/query carries a long high-entropy token. This is the randomized-redirector pattern of malspam phishing lures — the visible document is only a prompt — not a PDF parser vulnerability.
  • External URI info PDF_URI
    PDF contains an external URL action
  • 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.
