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

The document presents itself as a download for game cheats, but contains a fake CAPTCHA to trick the user into interacting with it. It embeds multiple URLs, including one pointing to a potential executable disguised as a PDF, which likely serves as a lure to download a second-stage payload. The ML classifier also flagged this PDF as malicious.

Heuristics 4

  • Fake CAPTCHA / human verification prompt high SE_FAKE_CAPTCHA
    Document displays a fake CAPTCHA or human-verification prompt — used to trick users into running commands or pressing keyboard shortcuts
  • Visual download / call-to-action button lure low SE_DOWNLOAD_BUTTON
    Document contains a call-to-action phrase ('Click here to download', 'Download Now', etc.) — low-signal unless other findings point to a malicious workflow
  • External URI info PDF_URI
    PDF contains an external URL action
  • 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.
