MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file exhibits suspicious static findings, including multiple PDF length mismatches and an xref offset mismatch, indicating potential obfuscation or malicious structuring. The presence of embedded PDFs further suggests a multi-stage attack. While no specific exploit or payload is directly identified, the overall structure and heuristic firings point towards a malicious document designed to deliver a secondary exploit or payload.

Heuristics 2

  • Secondary embedded PDF body has suspicious static findings critical POLYGLOT_CHILD_PDF_STATIC_TRIAGE
    A valid PDF body was found at a nonzero offset inside another container and its carved contents matched PDF exploit or lure heuristics. This catches polyglots where the top-level magic routes to ZIP/OLE while a PDF reader or downstream parser opens the hidden PDF payload.
  • 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.
