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

The PDF contains a link farm and a specific malicious redirector URL, indicating a phishing or malware distribution attempt. The document body text, though garbled, contains keywords like 'Ryanair app windows' and the malicious URL, suggesting a lure to trick users into clicking. The heuristic 'PDF_MALICIOUS_REDIRECTOR_LINK' directly points to the suspicious URL, and 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' indicates a large number of outbound links, common in spam or phishing campaigns.

Heuristics 3

  • 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.
  • 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.
