MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF contains a large number of embedded URLs, identified as a link farm. While the extracted document body is heavily corrupted, the heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' indicates the primary function is to link to numerous external resources. The ML classifier also flagged the document as malicious, supporting the assessment that this is not a benign document. The IOCs are the URLs found within the document.

Heuristics 2

  • Small PDF contains mass external PDF link farm critical PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM

  • 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.
