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

The PDF contains a large number of external links, many of which point to other PDF files on different domains. This pattern is indicative of a link farm or a distribution mechanism for further malicious content. The ML classifier strongly supports the malicious verdict. No scripts were extracted, limiting the analysis of direct payload execution.

    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.
