MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

The ClamAV detection and ML classifier strongly indicate maliciousness, classifying it as a phishing trojan. The presence of embedded URLs, despite some being marked as benign, suggests an attempt to lure the user to external resources. The PDF_URI heuristic points to an external URI, likely part of the attack chain. The sample's nature as a PDF with embedded content and external links aligns with common phishing and exploit delivery techniques.

  • 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.
