MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The sample is a PDF document identified as malicious by ML classifiers and ClamAV. It contains an embedded URI pointing to a URL that, while currently benign, is likely part of a phishing or credential harvesting scheme. The document's content, though heavily obfuscated, suggests an attempt to deceive the user into clicking the link, potentially leading to further malicious activity. No scripts were extracted, but the presence of embedded URLs and the ML detection strongly indicate a phishing attack.

  • 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.
