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

The PDF contains a link to a known malicious redirector, botcraftman.ru, which is a strong indicator of malicious intent. The ML classifier also flagged this PDF with high confidence. The document body is heavily obfuscated and does not provide clear textual clues, but the presence of the malicious URL is sufficient to infer a redirection attack pattern. No scripts were extracted from this sample.

Heuristics 2

  • 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.
  • 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.
    URL http://botcraftman.ru/?lip&keyword=gameplayer+%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%87%D0%B0%D1%82%D1%8C+%D0%BD%D0%B0+%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B4%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B8%D0%B4&charset=utf-8
