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

The PDF document contains a fake CAPTCHA and a "CLICK HERE TO ACCESS COIN MASTER GENERATOR" call-to-action, which are common social engineering tactics to lure users into clicking malicious links. The embedded URL, https://netcdn.xyz/app/406889139/legit-coin-master-hack-site-zyngaplayerforums.com-game-hack, is flagged as malicious, indicating the document's intent to redirect users to harmful infrastructure. The use of wkhtmltopdf suggests the document may have been generated from web content, potentially to mask its malicious nature.

Heuristics 4

  • 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.
  • 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
  • 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
  • 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.
