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

The PDF file contains a large number of embedded URLs pointing to other PDF documents hosted on various domains. This behavior is indicative of a link farm or a distribution mechanism for further malicious content, as suggested by the 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' heuristic. The ClamAV detection further supports its malicious nature. No scripts were extracted, and the document body text is largely obfuscated, making it difficult to determine the exact user-facing lure.

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.
