MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.001 User Execution: Malicious Link T1059.001 Command and Scripting Interpreter: PowerShell

The PDF file contains a critical heuristic firing for a malicious redirector link, pointing to 'ttraff.club'. Additionally, it exhibits characteristics of a PDF link farm, with numerous embedded links. The presence of a 'SE_DOWNLOAD_BUTTON' heuristic suggests a lure to trick users into clicking the malicious link, which is explicitly present in the document body and reconstructed as 'https://ttraff.club/wix?keyword=android+studio+adb+location'. This indicates a phishing or social engineering attack aimed at redirecting users to a malicious site.

Heuristics 4

  • 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.
  • 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
  • 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.
