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

The PDF contains a large number of embedded external links, identified as a 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' heuristic. The ClamAV detection 'Pdf.Phishing.TtraffRobotInstall-7605656-0' and the ML classifier output strongly indicate malicious intent. The document body, though truncated, contains references to external URLs, reinforcing the link farm behavior. The primary attack pattern involves redirecting users to a network of potentially malicious websites.

  • 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.
