MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious Link

The PDF file contains embedded links that are part of a link farm, with one specific URL identified as a malicious redirector. The document body, though partially corrupted, contains text suggesting it is a 'job cost sheet excel template', which is a common lure for phishing or malware delivery. The heuristic 'PDF_MALICIOUS_REDIRECTOR_LINK' confirms the redirection to malicious infrastructure, and 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' indicates a large number of outbound links, likely for SEO manipulation or to distribute malware. The presence of multiple Shopify URLs, some confirmed benign, suggests an attempt to blend malicious links with legitimate ones.

Heuristics 4

  • 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.
  • Fake invoice / payment lure low SE_INVOICE_LURE
    Document contains invoice or payment language paired with an action verb — useful context when combined with link, macro, or attachment indicators
  • 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.
