MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The ClamAV detection and the presence of embedded URLs strongly indicate malicious intent, likely for phishing purposes. Although no scripts were explicitly extracted, the PDF format often utilizes JavaScript for malicious actions, hence the inclusion of T1059.007. The file's origin from wkhtmltopdf suggests it might be part of a larger phishing campaign, aligning with Spearphishing Attachment.

  • 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.
