MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Phishing:Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious File:Malicious Link

The PDF document contains a large number of external links, many of which point to similarly structured URLs on different domains. The document body text, though partially corrupted, contains the phrase 'Q hacer para engordar la cara' (What to do to make the face fatter), suggesting a lure for users interested in cosmetic procedures. The PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM heuristic confirms the presence of a link farm. The ML_NYX_PDF_MALICIOUS heuristic indicates a high probability of malicious intent.

Heuristics 4

  • 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.
  • 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.
