MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.007 JavaScript

This PDF was flagged by multiple heuristics, including a high-confidence ML classifier and ClamAV detection as a phishing trojan. The PDF contains numerous embedded URLs pointing to other PDF files hosted on various domains, suggesting a link farm or redirection mechanism. The presence of PDF_SEO_DISPOSABLE_LINK_FARM heuristic indicates a pattern of using disposable hosting for these links, common in phishing campaigns. While no scripts were explicitly extracted, the PDF structure and embedded URIs strongly suggest an intent to redirect users to malicious content.

  • Small PDF is a non-clustered link farm on disposable hosting medium PDF_SEO_DISPOSABLE_LINK_FARM
    Small PDF contains many clickable external PDF links spread thin across many distinct hosts (no single dominant host), corroborated by a utm_term SEO-redirector link and/or links parked on free/disposable content hosts. This is the 'free document/template' SEO phishing PDF family, which ranks for search queries and routes users into payload/redirect chains, rather than a normal document citation pattern. The PDF itself carries no exploit — the risk is the linked destinations.
  • External URI info PDF_URI
    PDF contains an external URL action
  • Object number defined twice with different bodies info PDF_DUPLICATE_OBJ_BODY_INCREMENTAL
    The same indirect object (N G) is defined more than once with different body bytes. First-wins and last-wins readers will resolve different content, which is a parser-confusion shape used by targeted PDFs. Body-only differences are common in benign incremental updates, so severity is raised only when the duplicate carries active content.
  • 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.
