MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Phishing: Spearphishing Attachment T1059.001 Command and Scripting Interpreter: PowerShell

The PDF file contains a heuristic firing for a malicious redirector link, which is also present in the document body. This link, 'https://ttraff.ru/wix?keyword=cute+uniform+outfits+for+middle+school', is designed to lure users to malicious infrastructure. The file also exhibits characteristics of a link farm, with numerous embedded URLs pointing to external PDF documents, suggesting a broader SEO poisoning or content spamming campaign. No scripts were extracted, and the document body is heavily obfuscated, but the primary malicious intent appears to be redirection via the embedded link.

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.
