MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF contains a hidden HTML iframe, a common technique for redirecting users to malicious content. ClamAV identified the file as Html.Spyware.IMG-7, further indicating malicious intent. The embedded URL http://www.codeforum.cn/free/max1.htm is suspicious and likely serves as the destination for the iframe.

  • PDF contains hidden external HTML iframe high PDF_HIDDEN_HTML_IFRAME

  • 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.
