MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The file is identified as malicious by ClamAV with the signature 'Pdf.Phishing.Trojan'. It contains an embedded URL that, while currently flagged as benign, is presented in a context that suggests a phishing attempt. The PDF structure itself is unusual, with duplicate object bodies, and was generated by wkhtmltopdf, which can be abused to create malicious documents. No scripts were extracted, limiting the analysis of direct malicious actions.

  • 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.
