T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.007 JavaScript

The sample is a PDF file identified as a credential phishing lure impersonating Amazon. It contains an embedded URL that redirects to another PDF hosted on weebly.com, which is likely the final payload or phishing page. The ML classifier strongly indicated maliciousness, and the SE_BRAND_CREDENTIAL_PHISH heuristic confirms the phishing intent.

Heuristics 4

  • Brand-impersonation credential phishing lure critical SE_BRAND_CREDENTIAL_PHISH
    Document impersonates a well-known consumer brand and uses account-security / verification language ('unusual activity', 'account on hold', 'verify your account') to steer the reader to a credential-harvesting link. Corroborated by: action link to abused redirector https://matasomorat.weebly.com/uploads/1/3/4/4/134492922/e3f8098.pdf.
  • 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.
