MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious Link

The PDF file contains a large number of embedded URLs pointing to external PDF documents. This behavior is indicative of a link farm or a distribution mechanism for further malicious content, as suggested by the 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' heuristic. The ClamAV detection further supports its malicious nature. The document body text appears to be corrupted or obfuscated, but the presence of URLs is the primary indicator of malicious intent.

Heuristics 3

  • 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.
