MITRE ATT&CK
T1204.002 Malicious File T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF document contains a lure instructing the user to enable macros or editing, disguised as an 'Outlook email signature design template'. This heuristic, combined with the numerous external PDF links, suggests the document is designed to facilitate the download of a second-stage payload. The primary attack pattern involves social engineering to bypass security measures and deliver further malicious content.

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.
  • Macro/content-enable lure medium SE_ENABLE_LURE
    Document instructs the user to enable macros or editing — a common technique used by malware droppers to bypass Office macro security settings
  • External URI info PDF_URI
    PDF contains an external URL action
  • 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.
