MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious File

The sample is a PDF file flagged by multiple heuristics, including ClamAV's Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject and a high-confidence ML classifier. It contains an embedded file, which is a common technique for delivering secondary payloads. The ML classifier's high score and the ClamAV detection strongly indicate malicious intent, likely involving the execution of the embedded artifact.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject
  • Embedded file low PDF_EMBEDDED
    PDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload
  • XFA form low PDF_XFA
    PDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
  • Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
    One or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
