MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious Link

The PDF document employs social engineering tactics, presenting a fake CAPTCHA and download button to trick users into believing they can get game hacks. The ML classifier strongly flagged this PDF as malicious, and the presence of numerous external URLs suggests a download or redirection attempt. While no scripts were explicitly extracted, the document's structure and embedded URLs indicate it's designed to lead users to malicious content, likely for credential theft or malware installation.

  • Browser extension / update installation lure high SE_BROWSER_INSTALL_LURE
    Document tells the user to install a browser extension, plugin, viewer, or browser update to view content — a common social-engineering path for credential theft and malware installation
  • Urgency / deadline lure low SE_URGENCY_LURE

    PDF contains an external URL action

    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.
