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 presence of embedded URLs suggests an attempt to redirect the user to malicious sites, likely for phishing or to download further payloads. The PDF structure itself, combined with the heuristic firings, points towards a malicious document designed to exploit users.

  • 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.
