MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

The PDF document contains embedded links and social engineering lures, specifically a 'ClickFix' style attack, to trick users into downloading further content. The primary URL, https://netcdn.xyz/app/479516143/free-minecraft-premium-account-game-hack, is associated with the lure of free game items. While no scripts were directly extracted, the PDF structure and heuristics suggest it's designed to exploit user interaction for malicious purposes, likely leading to the execution of further payloads.

Machine Learning

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 0.9492

Heuristics 4

  • ClickFix social engineering attack high SE_CLICKFIX
    Document instructs the user to press Win+R or paste a command into a terminal — consistent with ClickFix attacks that bypass macro restrictions by tricking users into running malicious commands directly
  • Visual download / call-to-action button lure low SE_DOWNLOAD_BUTTON
    Document contains a call-to-action phrase ('Click here to download', 'Download Now', etc.) — low-signal unless other findings point to a malicious workflow
  • 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.
