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

The PDF file contains a large number of external links, identified as a 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' heuristic. These links point to various domains, suggesting an attempt to distribute malicious content or engage in SEO poisoning. The ML classifier also strongly indicated maliciousness. No scripts were extracted, but the primary attack vector appears to be directing users to external, potentially malicious, websites.

  • Small PDF contains mass external PDF link farm critical PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM

  • 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.
