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

The PDF file contains a significant number of external links, identified by the PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM heuristic, pointing to various domains. The ClamAV detection as Pdf.Phishing.TtraffRobotInstall-7605656-0 further supports a phishing or malicious redirection intent. The embedded URLs and the heuristic strongly suggest the document's purpose is to redirect users to potentially harmful websites, likely for phishing or malware distribution.

  • Small PDF contains mass external PDF link farm critical PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM

  • 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.
