The PDF contains a large number of external links, detected by the PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM heuristic, pointing to various PDF files on different domains. The document body contains garbled text and what appears to be metadata, but the primary malicious intent is inferred from the extensive link farm. No scripts were extracted from this sample. The IOCs are the URLs identified as part of the link farm.

Heuristics 3

  • 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.
  • External URI info PDF_URI
    PDF contains an external URL action
  • 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.
