MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 User Execution: Malicious File

The PDF file exhibits characteristics of a link farm, containing numerous external links to various domains. The heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' specifically identifies this behavior, suggesting the document's primary purpose is to direct users to a network of websites. The embedded URLs, such as http://leahdeleau.com/uploads/1/3/1/4/131452816/131452816.html#real+life+barbie+doll+without+makeup and http://fortitudecapitalmgt.com/uploads/1/3/0/7/130775455/3a272.pdf, are indicative of this pattern. The ML classifier also strongly flagged this PDF as malicious.

Heuristics 4

  • 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.
  • External URI info PDF_URI
    PDF contains an external URL action
  • Object number defined twice with different bodies info PDF_DUPLICATE_OBJ_BODY_INCREMENTAL
    The same indirect object (N G) is defined more than once with different body bytes. First-wins and last-wins readers will resolve different content, which is a parser-confusion shape used by targeted PDFs. Body-only differences are common in benign incremental updates, so severity is raised only when the duplicate carries active content.
  • 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.
