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

The PDF file contains an embedded binary artifact, indicated by the PDF_EMBEDDED heuristic and the 'embedded_file_obj0001.bin' extracted file. ClamAV detected this as malware due to an obfuscated object name. The presence of an embedded file strongly suggests an attempt to deliver a secondary payload, likely executed when the embedded file is opened.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

  • XFA form low PDF_XFA
    PDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
  • Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
