MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious Link

The PDF contains a malicious redirector link pointing to botcraftman.ru, which is flagged as malicious infrastructure. The ML classifier also strongly indicated maliciousness. The document body is heavily obfuscated and unreadable, suggesting it's not intended for user interaction but rather to host the malicious link.

Heuristics 2

  • 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.
  • 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.
    URL http://botcraftman.ru/?lip&keyword=%D0%BA%D0%B0%D0%BA+%D1%81%D0%B1%D1%80%D0%BE%D1%81%D0%B8%D1%82%D1%8C+%D0%B0%D0%BA%D1%82%D0%B8%D0%B2%D0%B0%D1%86%D0%B8%D1%8E+windows+8&charset=utf-8
