MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 User Execution: Malicious File T1059.003 Command and Scripting Interpreter: Windows Command Shell

The PDF document employs social engineering tactics, specifically a 'ClickFix' lure, to trick users into executing commands. It presents a fake game generator and directs users to download a file, then use the Windows Run dialog or command prompt to execute it. The embedded URL and numerous other URLs point to potentially malicious content, likely a second-stage payload.

Machine Learning

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 0.9971

Heuristics 5

  • Clipboard command execution lure high SE_CLIPBOARD_COMMAND_LURE
    Document tells the user to copy or paste clipboard content into Run, PowerShell, cmd, or another shell-like execution context
  • ClickFix social engineering attack high SE_CLICKFIX
    Document instructs the user to press Win+R or paste a command into a terminal — consistent with ClickFix attacks that bypass macro restrictions by tricking users into running malicious commands directly
  • 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.
