MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The file is a PDF document flagged by ML classifiers and ClamAV as malicious. It contains an embedded URI pointing to a URL that, while currently marked as benign, is suspicious in context. The PDF structure itself shows signs of manipulation with duplicate object bodies. The primary attack vector appears to be directing the user to an external resource, likely for phishing or to download a secondary payload.

  • 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.
