MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious File Execution: User Execution

This PDF document employs social engineering tactics, specifically a 'ClickFix' lure, to trick users into executing commands. The document body contains a prominent 'CLICK HERE TO ACCESS MINECRAFT GENERATOR' call to action, along with embedded URLs that likely lead to malicious content. The presence of external URIs and the ML classifier's high confidence score indicate a malicious intent to deliver a payload or redirect the user to a compromised site.

Machine Learning

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 0.7010

Heuristics 4

  • ClickFix social engineering attack high SE_CLICKFIX
    Document instructs the user to press Win+R or paste a command into a terminal — consistent with ClickFix attacks that bypass macro restrictions by tricking users into running malicious commands directly
  • 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.
