MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious Link

The PDF file contains a large number of external links, a technique often used for SEO manipulation or to redirect users to malicious sites. The document body contains garbled text and references to 'Kuta software naming polynomials' and 'wkhtmltopdf', suggesting it is not legitimate content. The primary heuristic identified a link farm with 17 external PDF links, indicating a coordinated effort to distribute links across multiple domains. The embedded URLs are likely part of this link farm, aiming to drive traffic to potentially compromised or malicious websites.

Heuristics 3

  • 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.
  • External URI info PDF_URI
    PDF contains an external URL action
  • 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.
