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

The PDF file contains a large number of embedded URLs pointing to external PDF documents, a technique often used for SEO poisoning or to redirect users to malicious content. The ClamAV detection 'Pdf.Phishing.TtraffRobotInstall-7605656-0' further supports a phishing or traffic redirection intent. No scripts were extracted from this sample.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Pdf.Phishing.TtraffRobotInstall-7605656-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Phishing.TtraffRobotInstall-7605656-0
  • 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.
  • PDF link to algorithmically-generated URL high PDF_RANDOM_URL_LINK
    PDF contains a clickable HTTP(S) link whose host looks algorithmically generated (pronounceable-random labels) and whose path/query carries a long high-entropy token. This is the randomized-redirector pattern of malspam phishing lures — the visible document is only a prompt — not 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.
