MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF document contains a large number of external links, primarily pointing to other PDF files on various domains. This behavior is indicative of a link farm or SEO manipulation tactic, potentially used to distribute malicious content or to artificially inflate search engine rankings. The presence of numerous unknown URLs suggests a broad distribution effort. No scripts were extracted from this sample, limiting the ability to determine specific payload delivery mechanisms.

Heuristics 3

  • Small PDF contains mass external PDF link farm critical PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM

  • External URI info PDF_URI
    PDF contains an external URL action
  • 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.
