MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious Link

The PDF file contains a direct link to an executable payload disguised as a ZIP archive. The heuristic 'PDF_DIRECT_PAYLOAD_LINK' strongly indicates malicious intent. The embedded URL 'http://krishikannada.com/blo/hf98fh92.zip' is the primary indicator of compromise, likely serving as a downloader for a second-stage malware.

Heuristics 3

  • PDF link points directly to executable/archive payload critical PDF_DIRECT_PAYLOAD_LINK
    PDF contains a clickable HTTP(S) URI whose path ends in an executable, script, shortcut, disk image, or archive extension. Documents can legitimately link to installers, so this is a high-risk delivery indicator rather than a standalone exploit fingerprint.
  • 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.
