The PDF document employs social engineering tactics, including a fake CAPTCHA and advance-fee scam lures, to trick users into interacting with malicious content. It contains multiple embedded URLs, one of which, 'https://netcdn.xyz/app/479516143/how-to-get-minecraft-for-free-game-hack', is likely intended to download a second-stage payload. The document's structure and heuristics strongly suggest a ClickFix attack pattern designed to bypass security measures.

Machine Learning

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 0.7268

Heuristics 7

  • Fake CAPTCHA with command-running instructions critical SE_FAKE_CAPTCHA_CLICKFIX
    Document combines fake CAPTCHA or human-verification language with instructions to paste or run a command — a high-confidence ClickFix pattern
  • 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
  • Fake CAPTCHA / human verification prompt high SE_FAKE_CAPTCHA
    Document displays a fake CAPTCHA or human-verification prompt — used to trick users into running commands or pressing keyboard shortcuts
  • Advance-fee lottery/parcel scam lure high SE_ADVANCE_FEE_SCAM_LURE
    Document contains lottery/beneficiary or prize language together with large-value draft/funds wording and parcel/courier delivery requirements. This is a classic advance-fee fraud document shape.
  • 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.
