The PDF file was flagged as a malicious redirector due to the presence of a link to botcraftman.ru. This URL is likely used to direct users to malicious content. No scripts were extracted, and the document body was heavily obfuscated, preventing further analysis of the specific lure. The file's creation application, wkhtmltopdf, is not inherently malicious but can be used to generate malicious PDFs.

Heuristics 2

  • 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.
  • 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.
