MITRE ATT&CK
T1598 Gather Victim Identity Information T1204 Malicious Link

The PDF file contains a large number of external links, many of which are dynamically generated with numeric slugs and appear to be part of a link farm. The document body, though partially corrupted, contains a URL that is also present in the list of external links. This suggests the primary purpose is SEO poisoning or directing users to potentially malicious content hosted on numerous domains.

Heuristics 3

  • 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.
  • 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.
