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

The PDF contains a large number of embedded URLs, indicating a link farm or redirection scheme. The heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' specifically flags this behavior, suggesting the document's primary purpose is to direct users to numerous external sites. No scripts were extracted, limiting further analysis of the payload. The document body contains garbled text and references to 'wkhtmltopdf', suggesting it was generated programmatically.

Heuristics 3

  • 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
  • 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.
