The PDF contains an embedded link to botcraftman.ru, which is flagged as a malicious redirector. The ML classifier also strongly indicated maliciousness. The document body appears to be corrupted or heavily obfuscated, preventing a clear understanding of its intended lure, but the presence of the malicious URL is the primary indicator of compromise. No scripts were extracted from this sample.

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.
