MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.007 JavaScript

The file is identified as malicious by a ML classifier and ClamAV, and exhibits characteristics of an advance-fee scam. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains metadata suggesting it was generated by wkhtmltopdf, a tool often used to create PDFs from web content. The presence of numerous embedded URLs, including the primary one at https://druttle.ru/award, indicates an attempt to redirect the user to a malicious site. While no scripts were explicitly extracted, the PDF format itself can embed JavaScript, which could be used to facilitate the scam by dynamically loading content or redirecting the user.

  • Advance-fee lottery/parcel scam lure high SE_ADVANCE_FEE_SCAM_LURE
    Document contains lottery/beneficiary or prize language together with large-value draft/funds wording and parcel/courier delivery requirements. This is a classic advance-fee fraud document shape.
  • 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.
