MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The file was detected by ClamAV as a Pdf.Phishing.Trojan. It contains multiple embedded URLs, some of which are marked as confirmed benign, but the overall detection indicates malicious intent. The PDF structure itself is also flagged for duplicate object bodies, suggesting obfuscation or malformed content. No scripts were extracted, but the presence of embedded URLs and the ClamAV detection strongly suggest a phishing attempt, likely delivered as a spearphishing attachment.

  • 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.
