MITRE ATT&CK
T1204.002 Malicious File Execution: User Execution T1059.003 Command and Scripting Interpreter: Windows Command Shell

The PDF contains a large number of external links, many of which point to PDF files on similar domains, suggesting a link farm or SEO poisoning tactic. The 'SE_CLICKFIX' heuristic indicates the document likely instructs the user to press Win+R or paste a command into a terminal, a common social engineering technique to bypass macro restrictions. This suggests the document's primary purpose is to trick the user into executing a command that would likely download and execute a secondary payload from one of the embedded URLs.

Heuristics 4

  • 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.
  • ClamAV: Pdf.Phishing.TtraffRobotInstall-7605656-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Phishing.TtraffRobotInstall-7605656-0
  • ClickFix social engineering attack high SE_CLICKFIX
    Document instructs the user to press Win+R or paste a command into a terminal — consistent with ClickFix attacks that bypass macro restrictions by tricking users into running malicious commands directly
  • 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.
