MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF contains a large number of embedded external links, many of which point to other PDF files on unrelated domains. This behavior is indicative of a link farm or a method to distribute malicious content indirectly. The ClamAV detection as 'Pdf.Phishing.TtraffRobotInstall-7605656-0' and the ML classifier further support its malicious nature. No scripts were extracted, but the extensive URL distribution suggests a phishing or content-spreading campaign.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Pdf.Phishing.TtraffRobotInstall-7605656-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Phishing.TtraffRobotInstall-7605656-0
  • 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.
  • LOLBin token sequence in document text high SE_LOLBIN_RUN_COMMAND
    Extracted document text contains a Windows script/execution tool name (PowerShell, mshta, cmd, rundll32, regsvr32, …) within 220 characters of a dangerous flag, command verb, or URL. This is a visible 'run this' instruction in HTML/PDF/RTF lure bodies, or — in macro-laden Office files — the macro's own string-pool entries appearing adjacent in extracted text.
  • 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.
