The PDF contains a heuristic firing for PDF_MALICIOUS_REDIRECTOR_LINK, indicating a link to a known malicious redirector. Additionally, a PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM heuristic suggests a large number of external links, with one pointing to a redirector. The document also includes a SE_CLIPBOARD_COMMAND_LURE heuristic, instructing the user to copy/paste content into a shell, which is a common social engineering tactic to execute malicious commands. The embedded URL https://ttraff.link/wix?keyword=inflammatory+bowel+disease+pdf+adalah is the primary indicator of malicious intent.

Heuristics 4

  • 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.
  • Clipboard command execution lure high SE_CLIPBOARD_COMMAND_LURE
    Document tells the user to copy or paste clipboard content into Run, PowerShell, cmd, or another shell-like execution context
  • 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.
