MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF contains embedded links, with one specifically identified as a malicious redirector pointing to 'https://ttraff.com/wb?keyword=cbse%20class%2010%20science%20guide%20pdf'. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, appears to reference educational material ('Cbse class 10 science guide pdf'), suggesting a lure to entice users to click the malicious link. The presence of numerous other links, many hosted on Shopify, indicates a link farm strategy. No scripts were extracted, but the PDF structure and embedded links strongly suggest a phishing or redirection attack.

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.
  • Small PDF contains mass external PDF link farm critical PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM
    Small PDF contains many clickable external PDF links, mostly clustered on one host. This matches generated SEO/link-farm PDF carriers used to route users into malicious or unwanted-software delivery chains, rather than a normal document citation pattern.
  • 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.
