MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.001 PowerShell

This PDF document contains a link farm designed to redirect users to malicious infrastructure. The primary malicious URL identified is https://ttraff.link/wix?keyword=coat+of+arms+template+vector, which likely serves as a lure to a phishing or malware distribution site. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains references to the coat of arms template and the malicious URL, reinforcing the phishing pretext. The ML classifier strongly indicated maliciousness, and the presence of numerous external links, including a critical redirector, supports this assessment.

Heuristics 4

  • 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.
  • 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.
