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

The PDF document contains social engineering lures, specifically instructing the user to click a download button or execute a command, consistent with ClickFix attacks. It embeds multiple URLs pointing to potentially malicious content related to game hacks and free accounts. While no scripts were directly extracted, the presence of embedded URLs and the social engineering tactics suggest the document is designed to trick users into downloading a second-stage payload.

Machine Learning

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 0.9492

Heuristics 4

  • ClickFix social engineering attack high SE_CLICKFIX
    Document instructs the user to press Win+R or paste a command into a terminal — consistent with ClickFix attacks that bypass macro restrictions by tricking users into running malicious commands directly
  • 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
  • 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.
