T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file contains a large number of embedded URLs pointing to external PDF documents, as indicated by the PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM heuristic. The ML classifier also flagged this PDF as malicious. The primary attack pattern appears to be a link farm designed to manipulate search engine results or to distribute a large volume of content, potentially malicious, through a seemingly innocuous PDF. No scripts were extracted from this sample.

Heuristics 2

  • 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.
