MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Phishing:Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious File:Malicious PDF

The PDF file contains a large number of external links, many of which point to other PDF files on various domains. The document body text suggests it is a worksheet, which is likely a lure to encourage users to click on the embedded links. The heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' indicates a mass external link farm, suggesting a malicious intent to manipulate search engine results or distribute malicious content through a network of seemingly innocuous documents. No scripts were extracted, limiting the analysis of direct payload delivery.

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.
