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

The PDF file contains a large number of embedded external links, a technique often used for SEO manipulation or to distribute malicious payloads. The heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' specifically flags this behavior, indicating a potential attempt to drive traffic to numerous unrelated PDF documents hosted across different domains. No scripts were extracted, and the document body is heavily obfuscated, making it difficult to determine the exact nature of the payload beyond the link farm. The primary IOCs are the numerous URLs pointing to external PDF files.

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.
