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

The PDF contains a large number of embedded links to external PDF files, a technique often used for SEO manipulation or to distribute further malicious content. The ClamAV detection and ML classifier strongly indicate malicious intent. The document body text, though heavily obfuscated, mentions 'pstoedit' and 'Dead sea scrolls book pdf', which appears to be a lure.

  • Small PDF contains mass external PDF link farm critical PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM

  • 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.
