The PDF contains a significant number of embedded links, with the heuristic 'PDF_MALICIOUS_REDIRECTOR_LINK' indicating that at least one points to known malicious infrastructure. The 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' heuristic further suggests a large number of external links, likely to manipulate search engine rankings or to host malicious content. The primary malicious IOC is the redirector URL. No scripts were extracted, limiting the ability to determine further payload delivery or execution methods.

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.
  • 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.
