MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF contains a large number of embedded URLs pointing to external PDF files on the same domain, as indicated by the PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM heuristic. This suggests a link farm or a distribution mechanism for other malicious content. The ML_NYX_PDF_MALICIOUS heuristic further supports the malicious nature of the file. No scripts were extracted, and the document body was unreadable, so the primary attack vector is inferred from the link farm.

Heuristics 2

  • 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.
  • 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.
