MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious Link

The PDF file contains a significant number of embedded links, many of which point to a redirector service (ttraff.ru) that is known to host malicious content. The document body, though partially corrupted, suggests a lure related to an 'online shopping system project report'. The heuristic 'PDF_MALICIOUS_REDIRECTOR_LINK' strongly indicates that the primary purpose is to redirect users to malicious infrastructure. The heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' further supports this by showing a large number of outbound links, likely for SEO manipulation or to distribute the malicious payload.

Heuristics 3

  • 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.
  • 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.
