MITRE ATT&CK
T1204.001 Malicious Link T1566.002 Spearphishing Link

The PDF contains a heuristic firing for a malicious redirector link, which points to `https://ttraff.cc/wix?keyword=cmap+tools+software`. Additionally, a heuristic indicates a browser extension installation lure, a common social-engineering tactic. The document body, though heavily corrupted, contains fragments of URLs and text that align with these findings, suggesting the primary goal is to trick the user into clicking the malicious link.

Heuristics 4

  • 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.
  • Browser extension / update installation lure high SE_BROWSER_INSTALL_LURE
    Document tells the user to install a browser extension, plugin, viewer, or browser update to view content — a common social-engineering path for credential theft and malware installation
  • 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.
