MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.001 PowerShell

The file is identified as malicious by ClamAV and exhibits a critical heuristic for clipboard command execution lures. This suggests the document is designed to deceive users into executing commands, potentially leading to further compromise. While no scripts were extracted, the presence of a lure to interact with the command line is a strong indicator of malicious intent.

  • Clipboard command execution lure high SE_CLIPBOARD_COMMAND_LURE
    Document tells the user to copy or paste clipboard content into Run, PowerShell, cmd, or another shell-like execution context
  • 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.
