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

The PDF file contains numerous external links, a common tactic for SEO poisoning or redirecting users to malicious sites. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains text suggesting it is a template for an office policy and procedure manual, which is likely a lure. The heuristic PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM specifically indicates a mass of external PDF links, suggesting a link farm or similar SEO manipulation technique to drive traffic to potentially malicious content.

Heuristics 3

  • 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.
  • 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.
