MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.007 JavaScript T1204.001 User Execution: Malicious Link

The sample is a PDF document flagged by multiple heuristics and a machine learning classifier as malicious, specifically for phishing. It contains a large number of external links, many of which are likely part of a link farm designed to obscure the true destination. The heuristic 'SE_MFA_LURE' indicates the document is designed to harvest credentials or session tokens by mimicking multi-factor authentication prompts. No scripts were extracted, but the PDF structure and numerous external links strongly suggest a phishing attack.

Heuristics 6

  • 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.

  • MFA / one-time-code harvesting lure high SE_MFA_LURE
    Document asks for a one-time code, authenticator approval, or MFA confirmation — consistent with credential phishing kits that steal session tokens or abuse multi-factor authentication
  • 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.
