The PDF contains an embedded JavaScript stream and a critical heuristic firing for a malicious redirector link. The link points to 'botcraftman.ru', which is flagged as malicious. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains strings related to software licensing ('Passware windows key enterprise edition rus'), suggesting a lure to obtain pirated software or credentials. The presence of embedded JavaScript further supports the malicious intent, likely to execute further malicious actions upon redirection.

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.
  • 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.
