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

The PDF contains a large number of external links, many of which point to similarly structured URLs on different domains. The ML classifier strongly indicates maliciousness. The document body, though partially corrupted, contains a title related to dramatic plays and references the wkhtmltopdf tool, suggesting a lure to potentially malicious content hosted on the numerous extracted URLs.

Heuristics 3

  • Small PDF contains mass external PDF link farm critical PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM

  • External URI info PDF_URI
    PDF contains an external URL action
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
