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

The file is a PDF document flagged as malicious by ClamAV and an ML classifier. It contains an embedded URI pointing to 'https://trafftec.ru/aws?utm_term=aaru+movie+songs', which is likely a phishing or malware distribution lure. The document body contains obfuscated text and metadata related to 'wkhtmltopdf', suggesting it was generated programmatically to obscure its malicious intent. No scripts were extracted, but the presence of an external URI strongly indicates an attempt to redirect the user to a malicious site.

  • 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.
