MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The file is a PDF document flagged by ClamAV as Pdf.Phishing.Trojan. The ML classifier also indicated a high probability of maliciousness. While the document body is heavily obfuscated and unreadable, the presence of an embedded URI pointing to what appears to be educational content, combined with the ClamAV detection, suggests a phishing or social engineering attempt to trick the user into visiting a malicious link.

  • 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.
