MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious Link

The PDF file contains numerous external links, many of which point to domains that appear to be part of a link farm. The heuristic 'SE_LOLBIN_RUN_COMMAND' indicates that the document contains instructions for executing Windows scripting tools, suggesting an attempt to download and execute further payloads. The embedded URL 'http://74-123-72-35.mgwnet.com/uploads/1/3/0/6/130603724/130603724.html#fullmetal+alchemist+manga' is likely part of a phishing or scam campaign.

  • Visible LOLBin command execution instruction high SE_LOLBIN_RUN_COMMAND
    Document contains instructions or visible command text involving Windows script/execution tools such as PowerShell, mshta, cmd, rundll32, or regsvr32
  • External URI info PDF_URI
    PDF contains an external URL action
  • 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.
