MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF contains a link to a known malicious redirector, botcraftman.ru, which is a strong indicator of malicious intent. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains keywords related to 'terraria 1212 rus' and application metadata suggesting it was generated by wkhtmltopdf, which can be used to create malicious PDFs. The presence of embedded URLs and the critical heuristic firing confirm the redirection attempt.

Heuristics 2

  • 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.
  • 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.
