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

The PDF file contains a large number of embedded links to external websites, identified by the PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM heuristic. The document body, though partially corrupted, suggests a lure related to a 'letter of recommendation for nursing graduate school'. The ClamAV detection further confirms its malicious nature, specifically flagging it as phishing-related. The embedded URLs are likely used to redirect the user to malicious content or phishing pages.

  • Small PDF contains mass external PDF link farm critical PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM

  • 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.
