MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious Link

This PDF document was identified as malicious due to the presence of a large number of embedded links. One critical heuristic firing indicates a PDF_MALICIOUS_REDIRECTOR_LINK, pointing to 'https://ttraff.link/wix?keyword=pe+chemical+review+manual'. Another critical heuristic, PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM, confirms the presence of numerous external PDF links, with 'https://static.usrfiles.com/ugd/55f640_8f27667868144af493998cfe24ddb468.pdf' being the first identified. The document body contains obfuscated text and the same malicious redirector URL, suggesting a phishing or malware distribution attempt.

Heuristics 3

  • 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.
  • 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.
