T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF was flagged by a critical heuristic for containing a malicious redirector link and a large number of external PDF links, suggesting a link farm. The ML classifier also strongly indicated maliciousness. The document body contains obfuscated text and URLs, including the primary redirector URL. The primary purpose appears to be to lure users to malicious content through a chain of redirects.

Heuristics 3

  • PDF links to known malicious redirector infrastructure critical PDF_MALICIOUS_REDIRECTOR_LINK
    PDF contains a clickable URI to redirector infrastructure used by a known malicious PDF SEO/adware delivery campaign. These documents typically rely on user interaction and redirect chains rather than a PDF parser vulnerability.
  • 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.
  • 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.
