MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF file contains numerous embedded links, a common tactic for phishing or malware distribution. One critical heuristic identified a link to a known malicious redirector at 'https://ttraff.com/pify?keyword=non+stop+air+supply+songs'. Another heuristic flagged the document as a link farm, with many links pointing to Shopify domains, suggesting an attempt to obscure the true malicious intent. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains the malicious URL and a reference to 'wkhtmltopdf', indicating it was likely generated by a tool for creating PDFs from web content, possibly to disguise malicious links.

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.
