MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

The PDF contains multiple embedded URLs and a prominent call-to-action to access a 'TikTok generator', suggesting a lure for free views or in-game currency. The heuristic 'SE_MFA_LURE' indicates the document may also be designed to harvest multi-factor authentication codes or session tokens. The ML classifier strongly flagged this PDF as malicious, and the presence of external URIs points towards a potential download or redirection to a malicious site.

Machine Learning

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 0.9648

Heuristics 4

  • 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
  • Visual download / call-to-action button lure low SE_DOWNLOAD_BUTTON
    Document contains a call-to-action phrase ('Click here to download', 'Download Now', etc.) — low-signal unless other findings point to a malicious workflow
  • 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.
