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

This PDF file was flagged as malicious by an ML classifier and contains a high number of embedded links. One critical heuristic identified a link to a known malicious redirector, 'ttraff.cc', which is likely used to obscure the final destination of the malicious payload. Another critical heuristic indicates a PDF link farm, with 17 links pointing to external PDFs, many hosted on Shopify domains, suggesting an attempt at SEO manipulation or content distribution. The presence of multiple unknown URLs further supports the malicious nature of this document.

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.
  • 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.
