MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell

The critical ClamAV detection and the presence of a URL shortener in the PDF metadata strongly indicate malicious intent. The embedded URL, though marked as confirmed benign, is part of the lure. The document body is heavily obfuscated and unreadable, preventing a more detailed analysis of its specific purpose. The heuristic 'Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7328030-0' suggests the file's primary function is to drop or execute other malicious content.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7328030-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7328030-0
  • Clickable URI uses URL shortener medium PDF_URL_SHORTENER_URI
    PDF contains a clickable HTTP(S) action whose destination is a URL shortener. This hides the final landing page from static review and is common in phishing redirect PDFs.
  • Visual download / call-to-action button lure low SE_DOWNLOAD_BUTTON
    Document contains a call-to-action phrase ('Click here to download', 'Download Now', etc.) — low-signal unless other findings point to a malicious workflow
  • 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.
