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

The PDF file contains numerous external links, a technique often used in SEO poisoning or link farm attacks to drive traffic to malicious sites. The heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' specifically identifies this behavior, indicating a likely attempt to lure users to download further content or provide sensitive information. The embedded URL 'http://yvzsr.bpmtc.com/uploads/1/3/0/8/130874104/130874110.html#gonna+fly+now+piano+sheets' further supports this, disguised as piano sheet music. No scripts were extracted, but the extensive link farm and ML classification strongly suggest malicious intent.

Heuristics 4

  • 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.
