This PDF document exhibits characteristics of a malicious redirector and link farm. The heuristic PDF_MALICIOUS_REDIRECTOR_LINK indicates that it contains links pointing to known malicious infrastructure, specifically 'https://ttraff.ru/wix?keyword=coraline+2+full+movie+english'. Additionally, PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM suggests a large number of embedded links, with 'https://static.usrfiles.com/ugd/bf650e_67e088695b484eb5a69f368d4a9d9bb9.pdf' being the first identified. The ML classifier also strongly flagged this PDF as malicious. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains these URLs, reinforcing the attack pattern.

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.
  • 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.
