MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.001 PowerShell

This PDF file was flagged as malicious by a machine learning classifier and contains multiple embedded links. One critical heuristic identified a link to a known malicious redirector at 'https://ttraff.ru/pify?keyword=alchemy+emperor+of+the+divine+dao+%25E0%25B9%2581%25E0%25B8%259B%25E0%25B8%25A5%25E0%25B9%2584%25E0%25B8%2597%25E0%25B8%25A2+pdf'. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, also contains this URL and numerous other links hosted on Shopify, suggesting a link farm or SEO poisoning tactic to distribute malicious content. The primary attack vector appears to be luring the user to click on the malicious redirector URL.

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.
  • Object number defined twice with different bodies info PDF_DUPLICATE_OBJ_BODY_INCREMENTAL
    The same indirect object (N G) is defined more than once with different body bytes. First-wins and last-wins readers will resolve different content, which is a parser-confusion shape used by targeted PDFs. Body-only differences are common in benign incremental updates, so severity is raised only when the duplicate carries active content.
  • 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.
