The PDF document employs a fake CAPTCHA lure to trick users into executing commands, as indicated by the 'SE_FAKE_CAPTCHA_CLICKFIX' and 'SE_FAKE_CAPTCHA' heuristics. The document body and heuristics suggest the user is prompted to run a command related to 'cmd-hack-roblox-game-hack', likely to download and execute a second-stage payload from the embedded URL. The presence of multiple PDF-related lures and the ML classifier output contribute to the high confidence.

Machine Learning

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 0.9796

Heuristics 7

  • Fake CAPTCHA with command-running instructions critical SE_FAKE_CAPTCHA_CLICKFIX
    Document combines fake CAPTCHA or human-verification language with instructions to paste or run a command — a high-confidence ClickFix pattern
  • PDF links to a 'free generator / game hack' redirector high PDF_GAME_HACK_REDIRECT_LURE
    PDF's clickable action targets a redirector of the form /app/<id>/<slug>-game-hack — the landing-page shape of a large SEO 'free spins / generator / game hack' lure family that funnels victims through rotating disposable hosts to a malware/scam payload. The multi-link variants also trip ML/link-farm rules; this catches the single-link variants that otherwise score clean.
  • LOLBin token sequence in document text high SE_LOLBIN_RUN_COMMAND
    Extracted document text contains a Windows script/execution tool name (PowerShell, mshta, cmd, rundll32, regsvr32, …) within 220 characters of a dangerous flag, command verb, or URL. This is a visible 'run this' instruction in HTML/PDF/RTF lure bodies, or — in macro-laden Office files — the macro's own string-pool entries appearing adjacent in extracted text.
  • Fake CAPTCHA / human verification prompt high SE_FAKE_CAPTCHA
    Document displays a fake CAPTCHA or human-verification prompt — used to trick users into running commands or pressing keyboard shortcuts
  • 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.
