MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF document was flagged by a machine learning classifier as malicious and contains heuristics indicating it is a link farm designed to host multiple PDF files. The critical heuristic 'SE_SECRET_RECOVERY_LURE' strongly suggests the document's intent is to phish for sensitive recovery secrets or private keys. While no scripts were explicitly extracted, the presence of numerous unknown URLs points to a potential download or redirection mechanism, likely intended to deliver a secondary payload or lead the user to a phishing page.

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 0.9955

Heuristics 5

  • Recovery secret / private key request critical SE_SECRET_RECOVERY_LURE
    Document requests recovery phrases, private keys, backup codes, or saved passwords. Requests for these secrets in a document are high-risk.
  • Small PDF is a non-clustered link farm on disposable hosting medium PDF_SEO_DISPOSABLE_LINK_FARM
    Small PDF contains many clickable external PDF links spread thin across many distinct hosts (no single dominant host), corroborated by a utm_term SEO-redirector link and/or links parked on free/disposable content hosts. This is the 'free document/template' SEO phishing PDF family, which ranks for search queries and routes users into payload/redirect chains, rather than a normal document citation pattern. The PDF itself carries no exploit — the risk is the linked destinations.
  • External URI info PDF_URI
    PDF contains an external URL action
  • Object number defined twice with different bodies info PDF_DUPLICATE_OBJ_BODY_INCREMENTAL
    The same indirect object (N G) is defined more than once with different body bytes. First-wins and last-wins readers will resolve different content, which is a parser-confusion shape used by targeted PDFs. Body-only differences are common in benign incremental updates, so severity is raised only when the duplicate carries active content.
  • 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.
