MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF document contains multiple embedded URLs, with a critical heuristic indicating repeated invisible links designed to lure the user to download a payload from http://starkave.site/Outback-Vision-Protocol-Pdf/pdf/www.aquilatrucks.com. Although no scripts were explicitly extracted, the PDF structure and embedded links suggest an attempt to deliver a malicious payload, likely via a spearphishing attachment.

Heuristics 2

  • Invisible/repeated PDF links deliver payload file critical PDF_REPEATED_PAYLOAD_LINK_LURE
    PDF uses invisible link annotations and points to a direct payload download. Repeated invisible links or lure-like payload names such as document/unlock/verify archives match malware-delivery PDF carriers where the page is only a prompt and the real payload is fetched from the linked URL.
  • 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.
