MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious Link

The PDF file contains a lure related to a 'Bangladesh passport reissue form' and includes a critical heuristic firing for a malicious redirector link. This link, 'https://ttraff.ru/pify?keyword=bangladesh+passport+reissue+form+fill+up+sample', is designed to redirect users to malicious content. The document also exhibits characteristics of a link farm, with numerous embedded URLs, including one pointing to 'cdn.shopify.com' which is part of a larger set of generated SEO PDFs. The presence of these elements strongly suggests a phishing or social engineering attack aimed at delivering further malware.

Heuristics 4

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Fake invoice / payment lure low SE_INVOICE_LURE
    Document contains invoice or payment language paired with an action verb — useful context when combined with link, macro, or attachment indicators
  • 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.
