MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.007 JavaScript

The PDF contains a large number of embedded URLs pointing to external PDF files, a technique often used for SEO spam or to distribute further malicious content. ClamAV detected this as 'Pdf.Phishing.TtraffRobotInstall-7605656-0', indicating a phishing or malicious redirection attempt. While no scripts were explicitly extracted, the heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' and the embedded URLs strongly suggest a malicious intent to redirect users.

  • 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.
