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

The PDF contains embedded JavaScript and multiple links, one of which points to known malicious redirector infrastructure (ttraff.ru). The ML classifier also strongly flagged this PDF as malicious. The document body contains what appears to be obfuscated text and URLs, suggesting an attempt to disguise malicious content. The primary attack pattern involves redirecting users to potentially malicious sites, likely for further exploitation or phishing.

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.
  • Embedded JS stream low PDF_JS
    PDF references a /JS stream. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
  • 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.
