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

The PDF file contains a significant number of embedded external links, many of which point to domains that appear to be part of a link farm. The heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' indicates a mass of external PDF links, suggesting a malicious intent to redirect users to potentially harmful content or for SEO manipulation. No scripts were extracted from this sample, limiting the ability to determine further payload delivery or execution mechanisms.

Heuristics 3

  • 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
  • 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.
