MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

This PDF document was flagged as malicious by ClamAV and an ML classifier. It contains embedded JavaScript and presents as an image-only document with an action trigger, a common technique for phishing lures. The document body is heavily obfuscated, but the presence of JavaScript and an external URI suggests it is designed to redirect the user to a malicious site, likely for credential harvesting or further payload delivery.

  • Image-only document with action trigger (screenshot lure) medium PDF_IMAGE_LURE
    PDF has 1 image(s), only 0 text block(s), carries a click-outward action, and is only 36 KB — typical shape of a phishing lure where a full-page screenshot hides a clickable button that launches or submits to an attacker URL.
  • Embedded JS stream low PDF_JS
    PDF references a /JS stream. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
  • 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.
