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

The PDF contains a large number of embedded links to external PDF files, a technique often used for SEO manipulation or to distribute malicious content. The ML classifier also flagged this PDF as malicious. While the URLs themselves are currently marked as benign, the sheer volume and the heuristic firing indicate a malicious intent to redirect users. No scripts were extracted from this sample.

Heuristics 2

  • Small PDF contains mass external PDF link farm critical PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM

  • 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.
