MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF contains a link to a known malicious redirector, botcraftman.ru, which is a strong indicator of malicious intent. The ML classifier also flagged this PDF with high confidence. While no scripts were explicitly extracted, the presence of a malicious URL suggests the document is designed to lure the user to a compromised site, likely for phishing or to download further malicious content.

Heuristics 2

  • 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.
  • 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.
    URL http://botcraftman.ru/?lip&keyword=%D0%9E%D1%84%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%BC%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B5+%D0%B1%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%BA%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B6%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B3%D0%BE+%D0%B6%D1%83%D1%80%D0%BD%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%B0&charset=utf-8
