MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious Link

The PDF contains multiple embedded links, with one pointing to a known malicious redirector. The document body text, though heavily obfuscated, appears to contain a lure related to downloading a browser. The heuristic 'SE_BROWSER_INSTALL_LURE' confirms this social engineering tactic. The primary malicious URL is https://ttraff.ru/pify?keyword=free+latest+uc+browser++for+pc, which likely leads to further malicious content or malware download.

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.
  • 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
  • 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.
    URL https://ttraff.ru/pify?keyword=free+latest+uc+browser++for+pc
