MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF is identified as malicious by ClamAV and ML classifiers, and heuristics indicate it's an image-based lure designed to trick users into clicking external links. The document body is heavily obfuscated, but the presence of multiple external URLs, including a link farm, suggests a phishing or malware distribution attempt. The primary attack vector is likely spearphishing attachment, leading to the execution of malicious content via embedded links.

Heuristics 5

  • Small PDF contains mass external PDF link farm critical PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM

    PDF contains an external URL action

    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.
