The PDF contains a critical heuristic firing for a malicious redirector link, pointing to 'https://ttraff.link/123?keyword=best+business+apps+for+android+2020'. The ML classifier also strongly flagged this PDF as malicious. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains the same redirector URL, suggesting its primary purpose is to lure the user to this external resource. No scripts were extracted, but the presence of a malicious URL is sufficient evidence of a malicious intent.

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.
  • 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.
