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

The PDF file contains a large number of embedded links to external PDF documents hosted on various domains. This technique, identified as PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM, is commonly used to distribute phishing content or redirect users to malicious sites. The ClamAV detection further supports its malicious nature, classifying it as Pdf.Phishing.TtraffRobotInstall. The document body, though containing garbled text, includes a reference to a Cisco ASA configuration guide, which may be a lure to entice users to click the embedded links.

  • 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.
