MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.003 Windows Command Shell T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF document contains a large number of external links, many of which point to other PDF files, suggesting a link farm or redirection mechanism. The 'SE_CLIPBOARD_COMMAND_LURE' heuristic indicates the document instructs the user to copy and paste content into a shell, a common social engineering tactic to trick users into executing malicious commands. The embedded URLs likely serve as destinations for these commands, potentially downloading further payloads.

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.
  • 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
  • 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.
