MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF file contains a large number of embedded URLs pointing to a single domain, 'cefasfese.4pu.com'. This pattern is indicative of a link farm designed to attract traffic or potentially distribute further malicious content. While the URLs themselves are marked as benign, the sheer volume and the heuristic firing of 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' suggest a malicious intent to manipulate search engine results or direct users to potentially harmful content. No scripts were extracted from this sample.

Heuristics 2

  • 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.
