MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF document contains multiple links that redirect to malicious infrastructure, specifically advertising 'free Robux' or 'game hacks'. The ML classifier and specific heuristics confirm the malicious nature of these links, indicating a lure to trick users into visiting potentially harmful sites. While no scripts were explicitly extracted, the embedded URLs and the nature of the lure suggest a phishing or social engineering attack, likely leading to further malware download or credential harvesting.

Heuristics 4

  • PDF links to a 'free generator / game hack' redirector critical 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. CRITICAL on its own: the /app/<id>/<slug>-game-hack path shape is unambiguous scam infra, and the host rotates so a host-list match can't be relied on.
  • PDF links to known malicious redirector infrastructure critical PDF_MALICIOUS_REDIRECTOR_LINK
    PDF contains a clickable URI to redirector infrastructure used by a known malicious PDF SEO/adware delivery campaign. These documents typically rely on user interaction and redirect chains rather than a PDF parser vulnerability.
  • 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
  • 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.
