MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1071.001 Web Protocols

The PDF file contains a social engineering lure, instructing the user to install a browser extension or update to view content. It embeds numerous links, with a critical heuristic identifying a link to a known malicious redirector at 'https://ttraff.ru/wix?keyword=template+wordpress+company+profile+gratis'. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, also contains this URL and other benign-looking Shopify links. The primary attack vector appears to be redirecting users to malicious infrastructure under the guise of content viewing.

Heuristics 4

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Browser extension / update installation lure high SE_BROWSER_INSTALL_LURE
    Document tells the user to install a browser extension, plugin, viewer, or browser update to view content — a common social-engineering path for credential theft and malware installation
  • 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.
