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

The PDF document was identified as malicious due to a critical heuristic firing for a 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM'. This indicates the document contains a large number of external links, likely intended for SEO manipulation or to redirect users to malicious sites. The document body contains text related to 'Adobe premiere pro cc 2019 win 7', suggesting a lure to attract users interested in software. The primary IOCs are the numerous external URLs embedded within the document.

    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.
