MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 User Execution: Malicious File

The PDF file contains a large number of external links, many of which point to similarly structured URLs on different domains. This pattern is indicative of a link farm or SEO scam designed to drive traffic to potentially malicious sites. The document body text, though heavily obfuscated, contains a reference to 'Bacteriological analytical manual fda' and the wkhtmltopdf generator, suggesting a lure to disguise the malicious intent. No scripts were extracted from this sample.

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.
