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

The PDF file contains a large number of external links, many of which point to PDF files hosted on various domains. The document body text, though partially corrupted, contains references to 'Macroeconomia libro samuelson' and the wkhtmltopdf generator, suggesting a lure to a website related to economics. The primary heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' indicates a technique to artificially inflate search engine rankings or distribute content across many domains, often used for malicious purposes. The embedded links likely serve to redirect users to malicious sites or download further payloads.

Heuristics 3

  • Small PDF contains mass external PDF link farm critical PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM

    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.
