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

The PDF file contains a lure related to 'Christmas party invitation templates funny' and embeds multiple links. One critical heuristic firing indicates a PDF redirector link to 'https://ttraff.link/wix?keyword=christmas+party+invitation+templates+funny', which is known malicious infrastructure. Another heuristic identifies a PDF link farm with 24 external links, predominantly hosted on 'static.usrfiles.com'. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains the same redirector URL. The combination of a deceptive lure and malicious redirector links strongly suggests a phishing or social engineering attack.

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.
