MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.001 Malicious Link

The PDF contains a significant number of external links, identified as a link farm, pointing to various PDF files hosted on different domains. The heuristic 'SE_LOLBIN_RUN_COMMAND' indicates the presence of instructions for executing Windows scripting tools, suggesting a potential for further malicious activity beyond just link redirection. The primary intent appears to be directing users to a network of sites, likely for SEO manipulation or to serve as a distribution point for other malware.

Heuristics 4

  • 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.
  • Visible LOLBin command execution instruction high SE_LOLBIN_RUN_COMMAND
    Document contains instructions or visible command text involving Windows script/execution tools such as PowerShell, mshta, cmd, rundll32, or regsvr32
  • 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.
