This PDF file was flagged by multiple heuristics and an ML classifier as malicious. It contains embedded URLs and obfuscated content, suggesting it is designed to deceive users. The presence of PDF_URI and EMBEDDED_URL heuristics indicates it likely attempts to redirect users to malicious sites or download further malware, aligning with spearphishing tactics.

  • 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.
