T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF file contains multiple invisible and repeated links designed to lure the user into downloading a payload. One of the critical heuristics identified a PDF_REPEATED_PAYLOAD_LINK_LURE, pointing to a ZIP archive. The presence of external URIs and the nature of the lure suggest a phishing or malware delivery attempt. No scripts were extracted, limiting the ability to determine the exact payload or persistence mechanisms.

Heuristics 3

  • Invisible/repeated PDF links deliver payload file critical PDF_REPEATED_PAYLOAD_LINK_LURE
    PDF uses invisible link annotations and points to a direct payload download. Repeated invisible links or lure-like payload names such as document/unlock/verify archives match malware-delivery PDF carriers where the page is only a prompt and the real payload is fetched from the linked URL.
  • 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.
