MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious Link T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF file contains a large number of embedded URLs, forming a link farm, which is a common technique for SEO poisoning and phishing campaigns. The heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' directly indicates this behavior. Additionally, the 'SE_LOLBIN_RUN_COMMAND' heuristic suggests that the document may contain instructions for executing commands using Windows scripting tools, potentially to download and execute further payloads. The ClamAV detection 'Pdf.Phishing.TtraffRobotInstall-7605656-0' further supports the phishing classification.

Heuristics 5

  • 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.

  • Visible LOLBin command execution instruction high SE_LOLBIN_RUN_COMMAND
    Document contains instructions or visible command text involving Windows script/execution tools such as PowerShell, mshta, cmd, rundll32, or regsvr32
  • 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.
