MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The file was detected as a phishing trojan by ClamAV. It contains multiple embedded URLs, some of which are marked as benign but others are not explicitly classified. The PDF structure itself is malformed with duplicate object bodies, suggesting an attempt to evade detection or exploit PDF parsing vulnerabilities. No scripts were extracted, but the presence of embedded URLs points towards a phishing or redirection attack.

  • 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.
