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

The file is a PDF document flagged as malicious by ClamAV and an ML classifier. It contains an embedded URL, https://jacksth.ru/aws?utm_term=data+structures+and+algorithms+tutorialspoint+pdf, which is likely used to deliver a malicious payload or redirect the user to a phishing site. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, suggests a lure related to technical topics, consistent with spearphishing attachments.

  • 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.
