This PDF file was flagged by multiple heuristics as malicious, including a PDF link farm and ClamAV detection. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains references to 'resignation letter sample format in india' and numerous external URLs. These URLs likely serve as lures to download further malicious content, such as other PDFs or executables, as indicated by the PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM heuristic.

Heuristics 5

  • Small PDF contains mass external PDF link farm critical PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM
    Small PDF contains many clickable external PDF links, mostly clustered on one host. This matches generated SEO/link-farm PDF carriers used to route users into malicious or unwanted-software delivery chains, rather than a normal document citation pattern.
  • ClamAV: Pdf.Malware.Agent-9902530-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Malware.Agent-9902530-0
  • 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.
