MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.007 JavaScript

This PDF file was flagged by multiple heuristics, including ClamAV and an ML classifier, indicating malicious intent. The PDF contains a large number of embedded external links, identified as a 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM', pointing to various PDF and HTML files hosted on different domains. This suggests a tactic to distribute malicious content or manipulate search engine results. While no scripts were explicitly extracted, the nature of the embedded links and the heuristic findings strongly suggest a phishing or malware distribution vector.

  • 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.
