The PDF contains numerous embedded links, with critical heuristics identifying it as a redirector link and a link farm. The primary malicious URL, 'https://ggtraff.ru/strik?utm_term=linear+equations+calculator+3+variables', is flagged as a redirector. Another significant URL, 'https://xamodeximafu.weebly.com/uploads/1/3/2/6/132681508/fejikazavosema.pdf', is part of a link farm. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains references to 'Linear equations calculator 3 variables', suggesting a lure to disguise the malicious intent. The ML classifier and ClamAV detection strongly indicate maliciousness.

  • ClamAV: Pdf.Phishing.Trojan-d2528dad23a95d95-d2528dad23a95d95-10044376-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
