Malware Insights
The PDF file contains a significant number of embedded external links, a technique often used in SEO spam or phishing campaigns to drive traffic to malicious websites. One of these links, 'https://ttraff.cc/wix?keyword=i+want+to+grow+more+xenoverse+2', is identified as a malicious redirector. The document body itself is heavily obfuscated and contains metadata suggesting it was generated by wkhtmltopdf, which can be abused to create malicious PDFs. The primary attack pattern observed is the use of a link farm to direct users to a malicious destination.
Heuristics 3
-
PDF links to known malicious redirector infrastructure critical PDF_MALICIOUS_REDIRECTOR_LINKPDF 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.
-
Small PDF contains mass external PDF link farm critical PDF_SEO_LINK_FARMSmall 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_URLOne 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.URL https://ttraff.cc/wix?keyword=i+want+to+grow+more+xenoverse+2
