MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF contains a large number of embedded links pointing to external PDF files, a technique often used for SEO poisoning or to distribute malware. The heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' indicates a mass external PDF link farm, with the dominant host being 'cefasfese.4pu.com'. While the document body is heavily obfuscated, the presence of these links and the heuristic firing strongly suggest a malicious intent to redirect users to potentially harmful content. No scripts were extracted from this sample.

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.
