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

The PDF file was flagged by multiple critical heuristics for containing malicious redirector links and a large number of external PDF links, suggesting a link farm or SEO manipulation tactic. One of the embedded URLs, https://ttraff.link/pify?keyword=%25D8%25AA%25D8%25AD%25D9%2585%25D9%258A%25D9%2584+%25D9%2583%25D8%25AA%25D8%25A8+%25D8%25AF%25D9%258A%25D9%2586%25D9%258A%25D8%25A9+pdf+%25D9%2585%25D8%25AC%25D8%25A7%25D9%2586%25D8%25A7, is identified as a malicious redirector. The document body is heavily obfuscated and contains binary data, but the presence of these links is the primary indicator of malicious intent.

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.
  • 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.
