The PDF file contains a critical heuristic firing for a malicious redirector link, specifically 'https://ttraff.ru/wix?keyword=%25D0%25B4%25D0%25B6%25D0%25BE+%25D0%25B4%25D0%25B8%25D1%2581%25D0%25BF%25D0%25B5%25D0%25BD%25D0%25B7%25D0%25B0+%25D1%2581%25D0%25B8%25D0%25BB%25D0%25B0+%25D0%25BF%25D0%25BE%25D0%25B4%25D1%2581%25D0%25BE%25D0%25B7%25D0%25BD%25D0%25B0%25D0%25BD%25D0%25B8%25D1%258F+%25D1%2581%25D0%25BA%25D0%25B0%25D1%2587%25D0%25B0%25D1%2582'. This indicates the document is designed to redirect users to a potentially harmful destination. Additionally, another critical heuristic identified the PDF as a link farm, containing numerous external links, many pointing to 'static.usrfiles.com'. No scripts were extracted, and the document body was unreadable, but the presence of the malicious redirector is sufficient evidence for a malicious classification.

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.
    URL https://ttraff.ru/wix?keyword=%25D0%25B4%25D0%25B6%25D0%25BE+%25D0%25B4%25D0%25B8%25D1%2581%25D0%25BF%25D0%25B5%25D0%25BD%25D0%25B7%25D0%25B0+%25D1%2581%25D0%25B8%25D0%25BB%25D0%25B0+%25D0%25BF%25D0%25BE%25D0%25B4%25D1%2581%25D0%25BE%25D0%25B7%25D0%25BD%25D0%25B0%25D0%25BD%25D0%25B8%25D1%258F+%25D1%2581%25D0%25BA%25D0%25B0%25D1%2587%25D0%25B0%25D1%2582
