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

The PDF file contains a large number of external links, many of which point to seemingly unrelated PDF files hosted on various domains. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains text related to 'Letter format in ms word 2007' and the PDF itself was generated by wkhtmltopdf, suggesting a lure to trick users into downloading further malicious content or visiting phishing sites. The heuristic PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM indicates a deliberate attempt to create a link farm, a common tactic for SEO poisoning or distributing malware.

Heuristics 3

  • 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.
  • 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.
