The PDF file contains a heuristic firing indicating it is a malicious redirector link. The embedded URL, https://ttraff.ru/wix?keyword=lol+champion+build+guides, is the primary indicator of malicious activity. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, also contains this URL, reinforcing the redirection attempt. No scripts were extracted, limiting further analysis of the payload.

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.
