MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious Link

The PDF file contains a large number of embedded links pointing to external PDF files hosted on various domains. The heuristic PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM indicates this is a link farm, a common technique for distributing malicious content or conducting phishing. The ClamAV detection further supports its malicious nature. No scripts were extracted, but the primary attack pattern involves directing users to a network of potentially malicious URLs.

Heuristics 3

  • 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.
