MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution T1059.007 JavaScript

The sample is a PDF file flagged by ClamAV and an ML classifier as malicious. It contains a large number of external links, with one heuristic specifically identifying it as a 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' containing 30 external PDF links. The primary external URI points to 'https://jottigo.ru/wix?keyword=the+jungle+quotes', suggesting a lure to a potentially malicious website. While no scripts were explicitly extracted, the nature of the PDF and the numerous external links indicate it's likely used for initial access via spearphishing, leading to further exploitation.

  • 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.
  • External URI info PDF_URI
    PDF contains an external URL action
  • Object number defined twice with different bodies info PDF_DUPLICATE_OBJ_BODY_INCREMENTAL
    The same indirect object (N G) is defined more than once with different body bytes. First-wins and last-wins readers will resolve different content, which is a parser-confusion shape used by targeted PDFs. Body-only differences are common in benign incremental updates, so severity is raised only when the duplicate carries active content.
  • 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.
