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

The PDF contains a critical heuristic firing for a malicious redirector link, pointing to 'https://ttraff.ru/pify?keyword=starbucks+financial+ratio+analysis+report'. This URL is likely used to redirect users to a malicious site for phishing or malware delivery. The document also contains a PDF link farm heuristic, indicating a large number of external links, with the first being 'https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0439/4529/6027/files/converting_units_of_time_worksheet_grade_4.pdf'. The ML classifier strongly flagged this PDF as malicious. No scripts were extracted, but the presence of a malicious redirector URL is sufficient evidence for a phishing or malware distribution attack pattern.

Heuristics 3

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
