MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

This PDF file was detected as malicious by both a machine learning classifier and ClamAV, suggesting it is a phishing or trojan delivery mechanism. The presence of embedded URLs, although many are confirmed benign, indicates an attempt to redirect the user. The file's metadata shows it was generated by wkhtmltopdf, a tool often used to create PDFs from web content, which could be leveraged for malicious purposes.

  • 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.
