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

The sample was flagged by multiple heuristics, including a critical ClamAV detection for Pdf.Phishing.Trojan and an ML classifier indicating maliciousness. The presence of embedded URLs, despite some being marked as benign, suggests an attempt to lure the user to malicious content or download further stages. The PDF structure itself appears to be malformed or intentionally obfuscated, contributing to the malicious classification.

  • 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.
