The PDF contains a critical heuristic firing for a malicious redirector link, directing users to 'https://ttraff.ru/wix?keyword=armas+de+mudan%25C3%25A7a+warframe'. Additionally, it exhibits characteristics of a PDF link farm, with numerous embedded links, including one pointing to 'https://static.usrfiles.com/ugd/eed56f_500bfab0b237410cb8f7f8b0a208d3ca.pdf'. The ML classifier also strongly flagged this PDF as malicious. No scripts were extracted, and the document body was heavily obfuscated, making it difficult to determine the exact lure, but the presence of malicious links is the primary indicator of compromise.

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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
