MITRE ATT&CK
T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file contains a direct link to an MSI installer, identified by the PDF_DIRECT_PAYLOAD_LINK heuristic. This indicates the document is designed to trick the user into downloading and executing a malicious installer. The embedded URL is the primary indicator of compromise, suggesting a delivery mechanism for a secondary stage malware.

Heuristics 2

  • PDF link points directly to executable/archive payload critical PDF_DIRECT_PAYLOAD_LINK
    PDF contains a clickable HTTP(S) URI whose path ends in an executable, script, shortcut, disk image, or archive extension. Documents can legitimately link to installers, so this is a high-risk delivery indicator rather than a standalone exploit fingerprint.
  • 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.
