MITRE ATT&CK
T1553.005 Mark-of-the-Web Bypass T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF contains an embedded executable payload, indicated by the 'PDF_EMBEDDED_PE_PAYLOAD' heuristic. The 'SE_INVOICE_LURE' heuristic suggests the document's content is designed to trick the user into executing the payload. The embedded executable was detected by ClamAV as 'Win.Trojan.LuminosityLink-9636903-0'. The primary IOC is the embedded executable file itself.

Heuristics 4

  • Embedded Windows executable payload in PDF stream critical PDF_EMBEDDED_PE_PAYLOAD
    PDF stream bytes contain an embedded Windows executable with a verified PE header. Exploit chains often hide droppers inside ordinary streams rather than standard /EmbeddedFile attachments.
  • ClamAV detection on extracted artifact critical EXTRACTED_FILE_CLAMAV
    ClamAV flagged at least one file extracted from inside this sample. Even when the wrapping document carries no AV detection of its own, a hit on the carved artifact is a strong indicator the sample is a delivery vehicle.
  • Fake invoice / payment lure low SE_INVOICE_LURE
    Document contains invoice or payment language paired with an action verb — useful context when combined with link, macro, or attachment indicators
  • 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.
