MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF was flagged by ClamAV as Pdf.Phishing.Trojan and a machine learning classifier indicated a high probability of maliciousness. A heuristic identified an image lure linking to an SEO redirector, specifically https://oniceh.ru/square?utm_term=common+data+structures+and+algorithms+questions, which is likely used to deliver a secondary payload or lead the user to a phishing site. No scripts were extracted, but the PDF structure and heuristics strongly suggest a phishing or malware distribution attempt.

  • Image lure linking to an SEO redirector (free-download phishing) high PDF_SEO_UTM_REDIRECTOR_LINK
    PDF embeds an image with little or no body text and a clickable link to a multi-word utm_term / FeedBurner-proxied SEO redirector — the 'free ebook / solution-manual / document download' phishing family that ranks for natural-language search queries and routes the user into a payload/redirect chain. The PDF carries no exploit; the risk is the linked destination. Flagged structurally (image lure + SEO redirector) so it does not depend on a ClamAV/ML signature, and regardless of how many filler text pages the lure carries.
  • 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.
