MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious Link

The PDF file contains a link farm designed to redirect users to malicious infrastructure, specifically identified by the PDF_MALICIOUS_REDIRECTOR_LINK heuristic. The primary malicious URL is https://ttraff.ru/wix?keyword=britax+b+safe+35+car+seat+installati, which is likely used for phishing or to serve further malware. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains references to the same malicious URL, reinforcing its role in the attack. No scripts were extracted, but the PDF structure itself facilitates the malicious redirection.

Heuristics 3

  • 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 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.
  • 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.
