MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF contains a large number of embedded URLs, identified as a link farm. While the document body is heavily obfuscated, the heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' indicates the primary purpose is to link to numerous external PDFs. The ML classifier also flagged this as malicious. The URLs themselves are marked as benign, suggesting the maliciousness lies in the aggregation and potential distribution of further content.

Heuristics 2

  • Small PDF contains mass external PDF link farm critical PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM

  • 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.
