T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF file contains a large number of embedded links to external PDF files hosted on various domains. This behavior is indicative of a link farm or a distribution mechanism for further malicious content, as suggested by the ClamAV detection 'Pdf.Phishing.TtraffRobotInstall-7605656-0' and the 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' heuristic. The ML classifier also strongly flagged this PDF as malicious. The document body, though truncated, mentions 'Programa para juntar fotos em pdf', which could be a lure to disguise the malicious nature of the links.

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Pdf.Phishing.TtraffRobotInstall-7605656-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Phishing.TtraffRobotInstall-7605656-0
  • 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.
  • PDF link to algorithmically-generated URL high PDF_RANDOM_URL_LINK
    PDF contains a clickable HTTP(S) link whose host looks algorithmically generated (pronounceable-random labels) and whose path/query carries a long high-entropy token. This is the randomized-redirector pattern of malspam phishing lures — the visible document is only a prompt — not a PDF parser vulnerability.
  • Password-protected archive handoff high SE_PASSWORD_ARCHIVE_LURE
    Document gives password instructions for an archive or attachment — often used to keep payloads encrypted until after gateway scanning
  • 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.
