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

The PDF document contains a large number of external links pointing to various domains, a technique often used for SEO link farming or traffic redirection. The heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' specifically identifies this behavior. The embedded URLs and the document body content suggest a pattern of linking to numerous PDF files, likely to obscure the ultimate destination or to distribute malicious content through a network of seemingly innocuous documents. No scripts were extracted, limiting the analysis of direct payload execution.

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.
