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

The PDF document contains multiple embedded URLs and visual lures such as a download button and a QR code, all pointing to external sites. These elements are designed to trick the user into downloading potentially malicious applications, as indicated by the ML classifier and the presence of suspicious URLs. The document body text and heuristics suggest a lure for downloading a Minecraft APK.

Machine Learning

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 0.9447

Heuristics 4

  • QR-code redirect lure medium SE_QR_LURE
    Document instructs the user to scan a QR code with a phone — consistent with QR phishing, but also common in legitimate documents
  • Visual download / call-to-action button lure low SE_DOWNLOAD_BUTTON
    Document contains a call-to-action phrase ('Click here to download', 'Download Now', etc.) — low-signal unless other findings point to a malicious workflow
  • 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.
