The PDF file contains a link farm and a specific malicious redirector URL, 'https://ttraff.ru/pify?keyword=aatish+movie++full+hd', disguised as a movie download lure. The heuristic 'PDF_MALICIOUS_REDIRECTOR_LINK' confirms this redirector points to known malicious infrastructure. The presence of numerous other PDF links, identified by 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM', suggests a tactic to distribute malicious content or engage in SEO manipulation. No scripts were extracted, but the document's structure and embedded links strongly indicate a phishing or redirection attack.

Heuristics 6

  • 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.
  • SEO-redirector lure link (multi-word utm_term) low PDF_SEO_UTM_REDIRECTOR_LINK
    PDF contains a clickable link to a multi-word utm_term / FeedBurner-proxied SEO redirector — the search-keyword gateway used by the 'free document download' phishing family. Surfaced as an IOC; on its own this is a low-confidence signal.
  • 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
  • Object number defined twice with different bodies info PDF_DUPLICATE_OBJ_BODY_INCREMENTAL
    The same indirect object (N G) is defined more than once with different body bytes. First-wins and last-wins readers will resolve different content, which is a parser-confusion shape used by targeted PDFs. Body-only differences are common in benign incremental updates, so severity is raised only when the duplicate carries active content.
  • 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.
