MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF file contains a large number of embedded URLs pointing to other PDF files across various domains. This behavior is indicative of a link farm or a distribution mechanism for further malicious content, as suggested by the 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' heuristic and ClamAV detection. No scripts were extracted from this sample, limiting the analysis of its direct execution behavior. The primary attack pattern observed is the mass distribution of links to external resources.

Heuristics 3

  • 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.
