MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.007 JavaScript

The PDF contains an embedded URL that is flagged as a malicious redirector. The ML classifier also strongly indicated maliciousness. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains the same malicious URL, suggesting an attempt to lure the user to a harmful site. No scripts were extracted, but the presence of a malicious redirector is a strong indicator of a phishing or malware distribution attempt.

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.
