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

The PDF document contains a lure for a fake 'ews certificate rajasthan form download' and a visual download button. It also hosts a large number of external PDF links, many pointing to files with numeric slugs, suggesting a link farm or SEO abuse tactic. The primary URL http://cpanel.collegedemsatiu.com/uploads/1/3/0/5/130550774/130550774.html#ews+certificate+rajasthan+form+download and the linked PDF http://fonmeadow.com/uploads/1/3/0/7/130775505/gutodoxapabe.pdf are suspicious and likely serve as part of the initial infection vector.

Heuristics 4

  • 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
  • External URI info PDF_URI
    PDF contains an external URL action
  • 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.
