The PDF file contains a critical heuristic firing for a malicious redirector link, specifically pointing to 'http://botcraftman.ru/'. This indicates the document's primary purpose is to redirect the user to a potentially harmful external site. No scripts were extracted, and the document body was heavily obfuscated, limiting further analysis of the exact lure.

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.
  • AcroForm button with action trigger low PDF_ACROFORM_BUTTON
    PDF contains a /Btn form field together with a SubmitForm/URI/Launch/JS trigger — this is the building block of fake 'Download' or 'Open' button overlays used in PDF phishing lures
  • 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%A2%D1%80%D0%B0%D1%84%D0%B0%D1%80%D0%B5%D1%82%D1%8B+%D1%81%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%B1%D0%BD%D1%8B%D0%B5+%D1%83%D0%B7%D0%BE%D1%80%D1%8B+%D0%BD%D0%B0+%D0%B1%D0%BE%D0%BA%D0%B0%D0%BB%D1%8B&charset=utf-8
