MITRE ATT&CK
T1204 Malicious Link T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1059 Command and Scripting Interpreter

The PDF contains multiple embedded links, with one pointing to a known malicious redirector. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, appears to contain text related to a 'hackintosh high sierra guide' and includes the malicious URL. The presence of a 'Clipboard command execution lure' heuristic suggests the document may instruct the user to copy and paste commands, further indicating a malicious intent to trick the user into executing harmful content.

Heuristics 4

  • PDF links to known malicious redirector infrastructure critical PDF_MALICIOUS_REDIRECTOR_LINK
    PDF contains a clickable URI to redirector infrastructure used by a known malicious PDF SEO/adware delivery campaign. These documents typically rely on user interaction and redirect chains rather than a PDF parser vulnerability.
  • 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.
  • Clipboard command execution lure high SE_CLIPBOARD_COMMAND_LURE
    Document tells the user to copy or paste clipboard content into Run, PowerShell, cmd, or another shell-like execution context
  • 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.
