MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF contains a large number of embedded external links, identified by the PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM heuristic, suggesting a tactic to manipulate search engine results or redirect users to potentially malicious sites. The ML_NYX_PDF_MALICIOUS heuristic further supports the malicious nature of the file. Although no scripts were explicitly extracted, the embedded URLs are the primary indicators of malicious activity, likely serving as a lure or a distribution point for further compromise.

Heuristics 2

  • Small PDF contains mass external PDF link farm critical PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM

  • 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.
