MITRE ATT&CK
T1204 User Execution T1059 Command and Scripting Interpreter

The PDF contains a link to a known malicious redirector, ttraff.cc, which is likely used to serve a secondary payload. Additionally, the document body instructs the user to copy and paste content into a command-line interface, indicating a social engineering tactic to trick the user into executing commands. The embedded URL is the primary indicator of the malicious intent.

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.
  • Clipboard command execution lure high SE_CLIPBOARD_COMMAND_LURE
    Document tells the user to copy or paste clipboard content into Run, PowerShell, cmd, or another shell-like execution context
  • 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.
