The PDF file contains a mass external link farm, with a critical heuristic firing for a malicious redirector. The primary malicious URL identified is https://ttraff.cc/wix?keyword=viecoi+l%25E1%25BB%25ABa+%25C4%2591%25E1%25BA%25A3o, which likely serves as a lure to a malicious site. The document body contains garbled text but includes the malicious URL, suggesting an attempt to disguise malicious content as legitimate. No scripts were extracted, limiting the analysis of further stages.

Heuristics 3

  • 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.
  • 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.
