T1204.002 Malicious File T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment

This PDF file was detected as a dropper by ClamAV. It contains a large number of external links, forming a link farm, with the primary purpose of redirecting users to potentially malicious content hosted on various domains. The embedded URLs suggest a tactic to obscure the final destination and potentially evade detection. The file's structure and the presence of numerous external links strongly indicate a malicious intent to lead users to harmful resources.

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Pdf.Dropper.Agent-8941482-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Dropper.Agent-8941482-0
  • 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.
  • 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.
