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

The PDF was flagged by a critical heuristic for containing a mass external PDF link farm, with 32 links pointing to a single domain. The ML classifier also strongly indicated maliciousness. While no scripts were extracted, the sheer volume of links suggests an attempt to manipulate search engine results or distribute malicious content through these external PDFs. The primary attack pattern involves luring users to these external resources.

Heuristics 2

  • 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.
  • 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.
