This PDF document employs a fake CAPTCHA and social engineering tactics, instructing the user to press Win+R or paste a command into a terminal. This pattern, identified as ClickFix, is designed to bypass macro restrictions and trick users into executing malicious commands. The embedded URLs suggest the document is part of a link farm intended to lure users to download potentially malicious content or further compromise their systems.

Machine Learning

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 0.9796

Heuristics 7

  • 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.
  • Fake CAPTCHA with command-running instructions critical SE_FAKE_CAPTCHA_CLICKFIX
    Document combines fake CAPTCHA or human-verification language with instructions to paste or run a command — a high-confidence ClickFix pattern
  • 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
  • Fake CAPTCHA / human verification prompt high SE_FAKE_CAPTCHA
    Document displays a fake CAPTCHA or human-verification prompt — used to trick users into running commands or pressing keyboard shortcuts
  • 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.
