MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious Link

The PDF file was flagged by a machine learning classifier and contains a direct link to a known malicious redirector infrastructure. The document body is heavily obfuscated and unreadable, suggesting it is not intended for human consumption but rather to host malicious links or exploit vulnerabilities. The primary IOC is the malicious redirector URL, which is likely the first stage of a multi-stage attack.

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.
