MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF file is identified as an image-only lure, typical for phishing attacks. It contains a clickable URL that is obfuscated using PDF string escapes. The URL 'http://xephankhoilon.vn/wp-content/themes/tiny/fonts/0yfcj/' is likely intended to lead the user to a malicious site for further exploitation or credential harvesting.

Heuristics 2

  • Image-heavy PDF hides clickable URL with PDF string escapes high PDF_ESCAPED_URI_IMAGE_LURE
    PDF is image-heavy with little real text and its clickable HTTP(S) URI is encoded with PDF octal escapes. This combination is common in credential-phishing PDFs that render a screenshot-like prompt and obscure the destination from simple URL extractors.
  • Image-only document with action trigger (screenshot lure) medium PDF_IMAGE_LURE
    PDF has 2 image(s), only 0 text block(s), carries a click-outward action, and is only 91 KB — typical shape of a phishing lure where a full-page screenshot hides a clickable button that launches or submits to an attacker URL.
