T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

The PDF document contains a fake CAPTCHA lure to trick users into downloading malicious content, as indicated by the 'SE_FAKE_CAPTCHA' heuristic. It also features a large number of external links, many of which point to PDF files related to game hacks and cheats, suggesting a link farm or download lure. The ML classifier also flagged this PDF as malicious with high confidence. No scripts were extracted, but the presence of numerous external URLs and the fake CAPTCHA strongly suggest an attempt to deliver a second-stage payload.

Heuristics 5

  • Small PDF contains mass external PDF link farm critical PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM
    Small PDF contains many clickable external PDF links, mostly clustered on one host. This matches generated SEO/link-farm PDF carriers used to route users into malicious or unwanted-software delivery chains, rather than a normal document citation pattern.
  • Fake CAPTCHA / human verification prompt high SE_FAKE_CAPTCHA
    Document displays a fake CAPTCHA or human-verification prompt — used to trick users into running commands or pressing keyboard shortcuts
  • 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
  • External URI info PDF_URI
    PDF contains an external URL action
  • 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.
