MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF file contains a critical heuristic firing indicating a malicious redirector link. The embedded URL 'http://botcraftman.ru/?lip&keyword=%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%87%D0%B0%D1%82%D1%8C+%D0%B4%D0%B8%D0%B0%D0%B1%D0%BB%D0%BE+2+%D1%81+%D1%82%D0%BE%D1%80%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%BD%D1%82%D0%B0&charset=utf-8' is associated with known malicious infrastructure. The ML classifier also flagged this PDF with a high confidence score. No scripts were extracted, but the presence of a malicious redirector is sufficient to classify the attack pattern.

Heuristics 2

  • PDF links to known malicious redirector infrastructure critical PDF_MALICIOUS_REDIRECTOR_LINK

  • 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.
