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

The PDF file was identified as malicious due to the presence of a critical heuristic firing for PDF_MALICIOUS_REDIRECTOR_LINK, pointing to 'https://ttraff.com/wix?keyword=android+version+huawei+p9+lite'. Additionally, the PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM heuristic indicates a large number of embedded links, with 'https://static.usrfiles.com/ugd/e6092c_356ed2ac513a46d8a9561cbdbecfaaef.pdf' being the first in the list. These findings suggest the document is designed to lure users into clicking malicious links, likely for phishing or malware delivery.

Heuristics 3

  • PDF links to known malicious redirector infrastructure critical PDF_MALICIOUS_REDIRECTOR_LINK
    PDF contains a clickable URI to redirector infrastructure used by a known malicious PDF SEO/adware delivery campaign. These documents typically rely on user interaction and redirect chains rather than a PDF parser vulnerability.
  • 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.
  • 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.
