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

The PDF file contains a significant number of external links, identified by the PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM heuristic. These links point to various domains, suggesting a link farm or distribution mechanism. The ML classifier also strongly indicated maliciousness. While no scripts were extracted, the sheer volume of external links and their nature points towards a malicious intent, likely to manipulate search engine results or redirect users to potentially harmful content.

  • 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.
