MITRE ATT&CK
T1204.002 Malicious Link

The PDF contains a direct link to a ZIP archive, identified by the PDF_DIRECT_PAYLOAD_LINK heuristic. This strongly suggests an attempt to trick the user into downloading and executing malicious content. The presence of a visual download button further supports this lure-based attack pattern. No scripts were extracted, and the document body was unreadable.

Heuristics 3

  • PDF link points directly to executable/archive payload critical PDF_DIRECT_PAYLOAD_LINK
    PDF contains a clickable HTTP(S) URI whose path ends in an executable, script, shortcut, disk image, or archive extension. Documents can legitimately link to installers, so this is a high-risk delivery indicator rather than a standalone exploit fingerprint.
  • Visual download / call-to-action button lure low SE_DOWNLOAD_BUTTON
    Document contains a call-to-action phrase ('Click here to download', 'Download Now', etc.) — low-signal unless other findings point to a malicious workflow
  • 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.
