MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious File T1059.007 JavaScript

The PDF contains a large number of external links, many of which are hosted on dynamic DNS services or free hosting platforms, suggesting a link farm or phishing operation. The 'SE_BROWSER_INSTALL_LURE' heuristic indicates the document prompts the user to install a browser extension or update, a common social engineering tactic. ClamAV also detected this file as 'Pdf.Phishing.Trojan'. While no scripts were explicitly extracted, the PDF structure and heuristics strongly suggest a phishing or malware distribution attempt.

Heuristics 6

  • 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.

  • Browser extension / update installation lure high SE_BROWSER_INSTALL_LURE
    Document tells the user to install a browser extension, plugin, viewer, or browser update to view content — a common social-engineering path for credential theft and malware installation
  • External URI info PDF_URI
    PDF contains an external URL action
  • Object number defined twice with different bodies info PDF_DUPLICATE_OBJ_BODY_INCREMENTAL
    The same indirect object (N G) is defined more than once with different body bytes. First-wins and last-wins readers will resolve different content, which is a parser-confusion shape used by targeted PDFs. Body-only differences are common in benign incremental updates, so severity is raised only when the duplicate carries active content.
  • 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.
