MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1027 Obfuscated Files or Information

The PDF file exhibits characteristics of malicious intent, including obfuscated content and the presence of an embedded file. The ClamAV heuristic 'Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject' strongly suggests that the file's structure or naming conventions have been deliberately obscured to evade detection. The embedded file, 'embedded_file_obj0001.bin', is likely a secondary payload. The lack of readable document body text prevents a more specific determination of the lure, but the overall evidence points to a delivery mechanism for further malicious activity.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
