MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious Link

The PDF contains a large number of external links, many pointing to other PDF files, suggesting a link farm or redirection mechanism. The presence of 'scanf cmd windows' in a URL and the 'SE_LOLBIN_RUN_COMMAND' heuristic indicate an attempt to execute commands on the user's system. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains fragments that appear to be command-line instructions and URLs, reinforcing the malicious intent. The primary IOC is the URL containing 'scanf cmd windows', which likely serves as the initial entry point for further malicious activity.

Heuristics 4

  • 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.
  • Visible LOLBin command execution instruction high SE_LOLBIN_RUN_COMMAND
    Document contains instructions or visible command text involving Windows script/execution tools such as PowerShell, mshta, cmd, rundll32, or regsvr32
  • External URI info PDF_URI
    PDF contains an external URL action
  • 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.
