PDF_FILE_HOSTING_DOWNLOAD_LURE — Image/button lure to file-hosting download

high PDF_FILE_HOSTING_DOWNLOAD_LURE

What it means

PDF screenshot/button lure links to a public file-hosting download endpoint.

Why it fires

The finding requires several conditions: the PDF is image-only or nearly image-only, contains a clickable PDF action/button, and the target URL points to a public file-hosting download endpoint such as Pixeldrain, Gofile, Filemail, file.io, transfer.sh, Catbox, MediaFire, or Workupload. That combination is much stronger than a generic URI or image-only PDF because it matches malware-delivery lures where the visible page is just a fake document/download prompt and the actual payload is retrieved from external hosting.
