MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF contains a link to a known malicious redirector, http://botcraftman.ru/, which is a strong indicator of malicious intent. The heuristic 'PDF_MALICIOUS_REDIRECTOR_LINK' confirms this, and the ML classifier also flagged the document as malicious. The document body is heavily obfuscated and unreadable, but the presence of the malicious URL is sufficient to assess the 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.
  • PDF link farm advertises cracked/pirated software medium PDF_CRACKED_SOFTWARE_LURE
    PDF contains many clickable links whose targets use cracked-software, keygen, serial-key, or warez vocabulary. These are SEO-spam lure documents that rank for software-piracy searches and route users to fake 'crack' download pages distributing potentially-unwanted programs, adware, or droppers. The PDF itself carries no exploit — the risk is the linked destinations.
  • 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.
