MITRE ATT&CK
T1204.002 Malicious Link T1059.003 Windows Command Shell T1218.011 Rundll32

The PDF contains a large number of embedded URLs, many of which follow a similar numeric or descriptive slug pattern, suggesting a link farm for SEO or phishing. The heuristic 'SE_CLICKFIX' indicates the document likely instructs the user to press Win+R or paste a command into a terminal, aligning with social engineering tactics to bypass macro restrictions. The 'SE_LOLBIN_RUN_COMMAND' heuristic further supports that the document contains instructions for executing commands via Windows scripting tools. The ClamAV detection 'Pdf.Phishing.TtraffRobotInstall-7605656-0' confirms a phishing intent. The primary attack pattern involves tricking the user into executing a command that likely downloads and runs a malicious 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.
  • ClamAV: Pdf.Phishing.TtraffRobotInstall-7605656-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Phishing.TtraffRobotInstall-7605656-0
  • Visible LOLBin command execution instruction high SE_LOLBIN_RUN_COMMAND
    Document contains instructions or visible command text involving Windows script/execution tools such as PowerShell, mshta, cmd, rundll32, or regsvr32
  • ClickFix social engineering attack high SE_CLICKFIX
    Document instructs the user to press Win+R or paste a command into a terminal — consistent with ClickFix attacks that bypass macro restrictions by tricking users into running malicious commands directly
  • 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.
