T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.007 JavaScript

The PDF contains a critical heuristic firing indicating a link to known malicious redirector infrastructure. The embedded URL, https://ttraff.com/wix?keyword=carlos+manuel+madero+cantu, is the primary indicator of malicious intent. While no scripts were extracted, the PDF structure and the malicious URL strongly suggest a phishing or malware delivery attempt, aligning with the Spearphishing Attachment technique.

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.
