MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript that triggers an external URI redirect. The ML classifier strongly indicates maliciousness. The embedded JavaScript is responsible for opening the external URL, which is a common technique for phishing or delivering further malicious content. The PDF structure suggests an image-only lure, typical for phishing campaigns.

    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.
