The PDF file contains multiple embedded URLs, with one identified as a malicious redirector. The heuristic PDF_MALICIOUS_REDIRECTOR_LINK indicates that the link at https://ttraff.cc/wix?keyword=a+crian%25C3%25A7a+e+seu+mundo is part of a malicious infrastructure. Additionally, the PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM heuristic suggests a large number of external links, with the first being https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0434/9162/3077/files/adolescent_anxiety_screening_tool.pdf, indicating a potential attempt to manipulate search engine results or distribute content through a link farm. No scripts were extracted from this sample.

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.
