T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.007 JavaScript

The file is a PDF containing numerous embedded links, with a critical heuristic firing for a malicious redirector link. The presence of a link farm and ClamAV detection further supports malicious intent. While no scripts were extracted, the PDF structure and link farm suggest it's designed to lure users to malicious infrastructure, likely as part of a phishing or SEO spam campaign.

Heuristics 4

  • 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.
  • 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.
