MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF file was flagged by multiple heuristics as malicious, including a ML classifier and ClamAV, identifying it as a phishing or trojan. The presence of a redirector URL, specifically `https://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sq/ugae/~3/5JeRQhMeIYg/square?utm_term=superman+and+lois+soap2day`, suggests a phishing attempt to lure users to a malicious site. The document body is heavily obfuscated and unreadable, preventing further analysis of its specific content or intent beyond the detected URL.

  • Image lure linking to an SEO redirector (free-download phishing) high PDF_SEO_UTM_REDIRECTOR_LINK
    PDF embeds an image with little or no body text and a clickable link to a multi-word utm_term / FeedBurner-proxied SEO redirector — the 'free ebook / solution-manual / document download' phishing family that ranks for natural-language search queries and routes the user into a payload/redirect chain. The PDF carries no exploit; the risk is the linked destination. Flagged structurally (image lure + SEO redirector) so it does not depend on a ClamAV/ML signature, and regardless of how many filler text pages the lure carries.
  • 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.
