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

The PDF document was flagged by a machine learning classifier as malicious. It contains a large number of embedded links, identified as a 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' heuristic, pointing to external PDF files. While the specific intent of these links is unclear due to the lack of readable document body text, the sheer volume and the nature of the heuristic suggest a distribution or SEO poisoning attack. The URLs themselves are the primary IOCs.

Heuristics 2

  • 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.
