MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF file contains embedded URLs, one of which is flagged as a potential phishing lure. Although the document body is heavily obfuscated and unreadable, the presence of these URLs and a ClamAV detection for 'Pdf.Phishing.Trojan' strongly suggests a phishing attempt. The file's structure and embedded content are consistent with a malicious PDF designed to redirect users to potentially harmful websites.

  • ClamAV: Pdf.Phishing.Trojan-d2528dad23a95d95-d2528dad23a95d95-10044376-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Phishing.Trojan-d2528dad23a95d95-d2528dad23a95d95-10044376-0
  • 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.
