MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF contains a large number of embedded URLs pointing to a single domain, identified by the PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM heuristic. While the ML classifier also flagged the document as malicious, the specific intent appears to be a link farm rather than direct payload delivery. The document body is heavily obfuscated, but the URLs themselves are clearly visible and represent the primary IOCs. No scripts were extracted from this sample.

Heuristics 2

  • 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.
