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

The file is identified as malicious by ClamAV with a 'Pdf.Phishing.Trojan' signature. Static analysis revealed multiple heuristics indicating the PDF is a link farm, with many links pointing to compromised WordPress upload storage and disposable hosting. The embedded URLs, such as 'https://coretry.ru/uplcv?utm_term=cheat+gta+darah+tak+terbatas+ps2', suggest a lure to potentially malicious content. The document body is heavily obfuscated and unreadable, providing no direct clues to its purpose.

  • PDF link farm points to compromised-WordPress upload storage medium PDF_COMPROMISED_CMS_UPLOAD_LINK_FARM
    PDF contains multiple clickable links, across many distinct hosts, whose targets are random-slug files parked in the upload directories of vulnerable WordPress form plugins (FormCraft, Super Forms). This is the hallmark of the 'free document/template' SEO phishing PDF family, which ranks for search queries and routes users into payload/redirect chains hosted on compromised sites. The PDF itself carries no exploit — the risk is the linked destinations.
  • Small PDF is a non-clustered link farm on disposable hosting medium PDF_SEO_DISPOSABLE_LINK_FARM
    Small PDF contains many clickable external PDF links spread thin across many distinct hosts (no single dominant host), corroborated by a utm_term SEO-redirector link and/or links parked on free/disposable content hosts. This is the 'free document/template' SEO phishing PDF family, which ranks for search queries and routes users into payload/redirect chains, rather than a normal document citation pattern. The PDF itself carries no exploit — the risk is the linked destinations.

    PDF contains an external URL action
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
