MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The file was detected as malicious by ClamAV with a 'Pdf.Phishing.Trojan' signature. It contains embedded JavaScript, which is often used to exploit PDF vulnerabilities or redirect users to malicious sites. The presence of numerous external URLs, many hosted on disposable domains and employing UTM parameters, strongly suggests a phishing or link-farming campaign aimed at tricking users into visiting compromised or malicious websites.

  • Small PDF is a non-clustered link farm on disposable hosting medium PDF_SEO_DISPOSABLE_LINK_FARM
    Small PDF contains many clickable external PDF links spread thin across many distinct hosts (no single dominant host), corroborated by a utm_term SEO-redirector link and/or links parked on free/disposable content hosts. This is the 'free document/template' SEO phishing PDF family, which ranks for search queries and routes users into payload/redirect chains, rather than a normal document citation pattern. The PDF itself carries no exploit — the risk is the linked destinations.
  • Embedded JS stream low PDF_JS
    PDF references a /JS stream. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
  • 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.
