MITRE ATT&CK
T1204 Malicious Link T1204.001 Malicious Link: User Execution

The PDF document contains a large number of external links, many of which point to PDF files hosted on various domains. The heuristic 'SE_BROWSER_INSTALL_LURE' indicates that the document's content is designed to trick the user into installing a browser extension or update. This suggests a social engineering attack aimed at credential theft or malware installation. No scripts were extracted from this sample.

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.
  • Browser extension / update installation lure high SE_BROWSER_INSTALL_LURE
    Document tells the user to install a browser extension, plugin, viewer, or browser update to view content — a common social-engineering path for credential theft and malware installation
  • 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.
