MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.007 JavaScript

The file was detected as malicious by a ML classifier and ClamAV, indicating a high likelihood of malicious intent. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains text suggesting a lure related to a 'cardiology journal accepting case reports'. Numerous URLs were extracted, many pointing to potentially compromised websites hosting PDF files, suggesting a phishing or credential harvesting attempt. The presence of embedded JavaScript, though not fully analyzed due to obfuscation, likely facilitates the delivery of a second-stage payload or redirects the user to a malicious site.

  • 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.
