MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF file was detected as malicious by ClamAV with the signature Html.Spyware.IMG-7. Static analysis revealed a hidden HTML iframe within the PDF, a technique often used to load external content or redirect the user. One embedded URL, http://www.codeforum.cn/free/max1.htm, has an unknown reputation and is a potential indicator of compromise.

Heuristics 3

  • ClamAV: Html.Spyware.IMG-7 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Html.Spyware.IMG-7
  • PDF contains hidden external HTML iframe high PDF_HIDDEN_HTML_IFRAME
    PDF bytes contain a hidden zero-size HTML iframe pointing to an external HTTP(S) URL. This is a strong malicious dropper/redirect indicator and is not expected in ordinary PDF 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.
