The PDF contains a critical heuristic firing indicating it links to known malicious redirector infrastructure, specifically 'https://cctraff.ru/aws?utm_term=fire+background+images+hd+1080p+free'. The ML classifier and ClamAV also flagged this PDF as malicious, with ClamAV identifying it as 'Pdf.Phishing.Trojan-d2528dad23a95d95-d2528dad23a95d95-10044376-0'. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, suggests a lure related to 'Fire background images hd 1080p free', which is likely a pretext to disguise the malicious link.

  • 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.
  • Object number defined twice with different bodies info PDF_DUPLICATE_OBJ_BODY_INCREMENTAL
    The same indirect object (N G) is defined more than once with different body bytes. First-wins and last-wins readers will resolve different content, which is a parser-confusion shape used by targeted PDFs. Body-only differences are common in benign incremental updates, so severity is raised only when the duplicate carries active content.
  • 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.
