MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The sample was detected as malicious by ML classifiers and ClamAV, specifically as a phishing trojan. The PDF contains numerous embedded URLs, with the heuristic 'PDF_SEO_DISPOSABLE_LINK_FARM' indicating a high volume of links to disposable hosting. One of these URLs, 'https://nsstore.mx/ckeditor/ckfinder/archivossubidos/files/86480859684.pdf', is identified as a potential entry point for further malicious activity. The document body is unreadable, but the overall structure and heuristic firings strongly suggest a phishing or malware distribution attempt.

  • Small PDF is a non-clustered link farm on disposable hosting medium PDF_SEO_DISPOSABLE_LINK_FARM
    Small PDF contains many clickable external PDF links spread thin across many distinct hosts (no single dominant host), corroborated by a utm_term SEO-redirector link and/or links parked on free/disposable content hosts. This is the 'free document/template' SEO phishing PDF family, which ranks for search queries and routes users into payload/redirect chains, rather than a normal document citation pattern. The PDF itself carries no exploit — the risk is the linked destinations.
  • 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.
