MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file was detected as malicious by ClamAV with the signature 'Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7304192-0'. Static analysis revealed embedded Flash content (b.swf, a.swf) and a PDF image-only lure, suggesting an attempt to disguise malicious activity. The presence of embedded files and the ClamAV detection strongly indicate a dropper or exploit delivery mechanism.

Machine Learning

  • Nyx PDF Classifier suspicious score 0.4707

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7304192-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7304192-0
  • RichMedia (Flash) high PDF_RICHMEDIA
    PDF contains /RichMedia (Adobe Flash) which is a historic exploit vector
  • Embedded file low PDF_EMBEDDED
    PDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload
  • PDF paints image(s) but contains no text operators info PDF_IMAGE_ONLY_LURE
    PDF has 2 image XObject(s) and the content stream contains no text-emitting operators (BT/ET, Tj, TJ, ', ") in either raw bytes or decompressed streams — this is the screenshot-as-PDF pattern used to bypass text-based scanners and to deliver instructions purely through rendered pixels. It is informational unless paired with invisible links or risky URI context.
  • 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.
