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

The PDF file was flagged by multiple heuristics, including a critical alert for a large number of external PDF links, suggesting a link farm or distribution mechanism. ClamAV identified it as Pdf.Phishing.TtraffRobotInstall, and an ML classifier gave a high confidence score. The document body contains numerous URLs pointing to PDF files hosted on various domains, reinforcing the link farm detection. While no scripts were explicitly extracted, the nature of the PDF and the embedded URLs suggest it is designed to redirect users to potentially malicious content.

  • 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.
  • 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.
