MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF contains invisible links that redirect to CAPTCHA-themed websites, a common lure for users seeking free items or game cheats. The ML classifier strongly indicates maliciousness, and the embedded URLs suggest a download or further compromise attempt. No scripts were extracted, but the overall pattern points to a phishing or malware distribution scheme.

Heuristics 4

  • Invisible PDF links to CAPTCHA-themed web lure high PDF_CAPTCHA_LINK_LURE
    PDF contains invisible clickable link annotations that point to a CAPTCHA/capcha-themed web path. This is a common phishing and ClickFix-style routing pattern: the PDF itself is inert, while the linked page performs the credential prompt or fake verification.
  • Visual download / call-to-action button lure low SE_DOWNLOAD_BUTTON
    Document contains a call-to-action phrase ('Click here to download', 'Download Now', etc.) — low-signal unless other findings point to a malicious workflow
  • External URI info PDF_URI
    PDF contains an external URL action
  • 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.
