The PDF contains a direct link to a JavaScript file hosted on transfer.sh, identified by the PDF_DIRECT_PAYLOAD_LINK heuristic. This JavaScript file is likely intended to be executed by the user, serving as a downloader for further malicious payloads. The embedded URL is the primary indicator of the malicious intent.

Heuristics 2

  • PDF link points directly to executable/archive payload critical PDF_DIRECT_PAYLOAD_LINK
    PDF contains a clickable HTTP(S) URI whose path ends in an executable, script, shortcut, disk image, or archive extension. Documents can legitimately link to installers, so this is a high-risk delivery indicator rather than a standalone exploit fingerprint.
  • 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.
    URL https://transfer.sh/get/9yiXvu/ORDER-022023.doc.js
