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

The PDF document contains a malicious redirector link disguised as an 'Accountancy project for class 12 cbse 2020 18 pdf'. This link, https://ttraff.ru/pify?keyword=accountancy+project+for+class+12+cbse+2020+18+pdf, is identified as a critical threat. The document also exhibits characteristics of a link farm, embedding numerous external PDF links, many of which point to potentially malicious or unknown domains. The primary attack vector appears to be social engineering through a deceptive document title, leading users to click on the malicious URL.

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.
