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

The PDF document contains a significant number of external links, many of which point to other PDF files hosted on various domains. This behavior is indicative of a link farm designed to manipulate search engine results or to host a large number of malicious payloads. The heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' strongly suggests this malicious intent. The document body itself contains a mix of text and URLs, further supporting the lure mechanism.

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.
