MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

This PDF file was flagged as malicious by multiple heuristics, including a critical alert for linking to known malicious redirector infrastructure. The embedded links, such as 'https://yafferge.ru/strik?utm_term=star+trek+discovery+season+3+episode+release+schedule', are designed to trick users into visiting potentially harmful sites. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains references to wkhtmltopdf and a date, suggesting it was generated programmatically to host these malicious links.

  • 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 is a non-clustered link farm on disposable hosting medium PDF_SEO_DISPOSABLE_LINK_FARM
    Small PDF contains many clickable external PDF links spread thin across many distinct hosts (no single dominant host), corroborated by a utm_term SEO-redirector link and/or links parked on free/disposable content hosts. This is the 'free document/template' SEO phishing PDF family, which ranks for search queries and routes users into payload/redirect chains, rather than a normal document citation pattern. The PDF itself carries no exploit — the risk is the linked destinations.
  • 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.
