MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

This PDF file was flagged as malicious by ML classifiers and ClamAV, indicating a phishing or trojan-like behavior. It contains multiple embedded URLs, one of which is associated with a known phishing detection. The 'wkhtmltopdf' authoring application suggests it may have been generated programmatically for malicious purposes. No scripts were extracted, but the presence of embedded URLs and the overall detection profile strongly suggest an attempt to lure the user to a malicious site or download further malware.

  • 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.
