MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The file was identified as malicious by a machine learning classifier and ClamAV, indicating a high likelihood of malicious intent. The PDF contains embedded URLs, one of which is a Google feedproxy URL, suggesting a potential phishing or redirection mechanism. Although no scripts were explicitly extracted, the presence of embedded URLs and the ML classification point towards an attack pattern involving social engineering to trick users into visiting malicious sites or downloading further payloads.

  • ClamAV: Pdf.Phishing.Trojan-d2568dad23a94d95-d2568dad23a94d95-10044375-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Phishing.Trojan-d2568dad23a94d95-d2568dad23a94d95-10044375-0
  • 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.
