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

The PDF file was identified as malicious due to the presence of a large number of embedded links, a technique commonly used to redirect users to malicious sites. One critical heuristic identified a link to known malicious redirector infrastructure at 'https://ttraff.cc/wix?keyword=present+progressive+worksheets+with'. Another heuristic flagged the document as a PDF link farm, containing numerous external links, with the first identified link being 'https://static.usrfiles.com/ugd/2f3ac6_ba210e72f26c4acab2d145099953fee5.pdf'. The document body itself contains garbled text and metadata related to PDF creation, but the primary malicious indicators are the embedded URLs.

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.
