MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.007 JavaScript

The file was identified as malicious by ML classifiers and ClamAV, with a critical heuristic detecting a link farm of 30 external PDF links. The primary external URI points to 'https://zajinet.ru/strik', suggesting a phishing or malware distribution lure. While no scripts were explicitly extracted, the PDF structure and heuristic firings indicate it's designed to redirect users to potentially harmful external content.

Heuristics 5

  • 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.

  • External URI info PDF_URI
    PDF contains an external URL action
  • 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.
