T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 User Execution: Malicious File

The file is a PDF document flagged by ClamAV as a phishing trojan. Heuristics indicate it uses a social engineering lure to trick the user into installing a browser extension or update. The embedded URL 'https://trafffi.ru/123?utm_term=algebra+textbook+pdf' is likely part of this lure, aiming to redirect the user to a malicious site.

  • Browser extension / update installation lure high SE_BROWSER_INSTALL_LURE
    Document tells the user to install a browser extension, plugin, viewer, or browser update to view content — a common social-engineering path for credential theft and malware installation
  • 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.
