The PDF contains a link to a known malicious redirector, botcraftman.ru. This heuristic, combined with a high ML classifier score, strongly indicates malicious intent. The primary goal appears to be redirecting the user to a harmful site, likely for phishing or to download further malware. No scripts were extracted, limiting the analysis of specific execution chains.

Heuristics 2

  • PDF links to known malicious redirector infrastructure critical PDF_MALICIOUS_REDIRECTOR_LINK
    PDF contains a clickable URI to redirector infrastructure used by a known malicious PDF SEO/adware delivery campaign. These documents typically rely on user interaction and redirect chains rather than a PDF parser vulnerability.
  • 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.
    URL http://botcraftman.ru/?lip&keyword=%D1%80%D0%B5%D1%84%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B0%D1%82+%D0%BD%D0%B0+%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%BC%D1%83+%D1%81%D1%82%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%BD%D1%8B+%D0%BC%D0%B8%D1%80%D0%B0+3+%D0%BA%D0%BB%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%81&charset=utf-8
