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

The document contains invisible links that lead to fake CAPTCHA pages, a common lure for tricking users into downloading malware or visiting scam sites. The heuristic 'SE_FAKE_CAPTCHA_CLICKFIX' specifically indicates a pattern combining fake CAPTCHA prompts with instructions to run commands, suggesting a malicious intent to execute arbitrary code. The embedded URLs point to sites offering 'free Robux' or 'hacks', further reinforcing the scam/phishing nature of the document.

Heuristics 6

  • Fake CAPTCHA with command-running instructions critical SE_FAKE_CAPTCHA_CLICKFIX
    Document combines fake CAPTCHA or human-verification language with instructions to paste or run a command — a high-confidence ClickFix pattern
  • 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.
  • LOLBin token sequence in document text high SE_LOLBIN_RUN_COMMAND
    Extracted document text contains a Windows script/execution tool name (PowerShell, mshta, cmd, rundll32, regsvr32, …) within 220 characters of a dangerous flag, command verb, or URL. This is a visible 'run this' instruction in HTML/PDF/RTF lure bodies, or — in macro-laden Office files — the macro's own string-pool entries appearing adjacent in extracted text.
  • Fake CAPTCHA / human verification prompt high SE_FAKE_CAPTCHA
    Document displays a fake CAPTCHA or human-verification prompt — used to trick users into running commands or pressing keyboard shortcuts
  • 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
  • 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.
