MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF file contains an embedded JavaScript stream and a large number of external PDF links, indicating a phishing or malware distribution attempt. The ClamAV detection 'Pdf.Phishing.TtraffRobotInstall-7605656-0' further supports this. The embedded JavaScript likely facilitates the redirection to these external links, which are structured to appear as search engine optimized content.

Heuristics 4

  • 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 JS stream low PDF_JS
    PDF references a /JS stream. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
  • 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.
