The PDF file contains a critical heuristic firing indicating a link to known malicious redirector infrastructure. The ML classifier also flagged the document with high confidence. The primary malicious IOC is the embedded URL, which is likely used to lure users to a malicious site for further exploitation or credential harvesting. No scripts were extracted, but the PDF structure and the malicious URL are sufficient indicators of malicious intent.

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.
