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

The PDF document exhibits malicious behavior through a high density of embedded links. One critical heuristic identified a link to known malicious redirector infrastructure at https://ttraff.ru/wb?keyword=les%20matieres%20scolaires%20exercices%20pdf. Another heuristic flagged it as a PDF link farm, with numerous links pointing to Shopify domains, suggesting an attempt at SEO manipulation or traffic redirection. No scripts were extracted, but the sheer volume of links indicates a likely intent to lead users to harmful content or exploit search engine vulnerabilities.

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.
