MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF contains a large number of embedded external links, as indicated by the PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM heuristic. While many of these links point to benign-looking documents, the sheer volume and the nature of the heuristic suggest a malicious intent, possibly for SEO poisoning or to redirect users to malicious sites. The ML classifier also strongly flagged this PDF as malicious. No scripts were extracted from this sample.

  • Small PDF contains mass external PDF link farm critical PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM

  • 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.
