MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF file contains numerous embedded links, with a critical heuristic firing indicating a malicious redirector link to 'https://ttraff.ru/pify?keyword=sawaia+as+artimanhas+da+exclus%25C3%25A3o+pdf'. Another critical heuristic identified a PDF link farm, suggesting a spamming or SEO abuse tactic. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains references to the malicious URL and a benign-looking PDF URL, likely intended to mask the malicious intent. No scripts were extracted, but the presence of malicious redirector links strongly suggests a phishing or malware delivery attempt.

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.
