MITRE ATT&CK

T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.001 PowerShell

This PDF document employs a visual lure, presenting itself as an image to entice user interaction. It contains embedded JavaScript and an embedded file, both common methods for delivering malicious payloads. The PDF_IMAGE_LURE heuristic indicates a typical phishing shape, suggesting the user is meant to click on a hidden element. The embedded file 'embedded_file_obj0004.bin' is a primary artifact of interest for further analysis.

Heuristics 8

Embedded script payload in PDF stream medium PDF_EMBEDDED_SCRIPT_PAYLOAD

PDF stream bytes contain an HTML/XFA <script> tag without accompanying Windows shell-execution primitives — common in accessible XFA forms but worth surfacing for analyst review.
Image-only document with action trigger (screenshot lure) medium PDF_IMAGE_LURE

PDF has 2 image(s), only 1 text block(s), carries a click-outward action, and is only 78 KB — typical shape of a phishing lure where a full-page screenshot hides a clickable button that launches or submits to an attacker URL.
Embedded file low PDF_EMBEDDED

PDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload
JavaScript action low PDF_JAVASCRIPT

PDF contains a /JavaScript action. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules. (matched inside decoded stream)
Embedded JS stream low PDF_JS

PDF references a /JS stream. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules. (matched inside decoded stream)
XFA form low PDF_XFA

PDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic (matched inside decoded stream)
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.
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.
