MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The file is a PDF document that contains an embedded URI pointing to an external website. ClamAV detected this file as 'Pdf.Phishing.Trojan'. While the document body is heavily obfuscated and unreadable, the presence of the embedded URL and the ClamAV detection strongly suggest a phishing attempt to redirect the user to a malicious site. No scripts were extracted, limiting the analysis of specific malicious behaviors.

  • 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.
