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

The PDF file contains a large number of embedded URLs pointing to external PDF documents, a technique commonly used for SEO manipulation or to redirect users to malicious sites. The heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' directly identifies this behavior, and the ClamAV detection further confirms its malicious nature. No scripts were extracted, but the extensive link farm suggests a phishing or malware distribution attempt.

Heuristics 3

  • 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.
