MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.007 JavaScript

The PDF contains a heuristic firing for a malicious redirector link pointing to 'https://gettraff.ru/strik?keyword=harriet+tubman+movie+amc'. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains this same URL, suggesting it is the primary lure. The ML classifier also flagged this PDF with high confidence. No scripts were extracted, but the presence of a malicious URL indicates a likely phishing or malware delivery 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.
