MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF document contains a large number of external links to other PDF files hosted on various domains, indicative of a link farm or redirection scheme. The document body text, while seemingly innocuous, is likely a lure to encourage users to interact with the embedded links. The primary attack pattern involves leveraging these links to redirect users to potentially malicious content or further stages of an attack. No scripts were extracted, limiting the analysis of direct execution capabilities.

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.
