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

The PDF document contains a lure for a 'Minecraft Free Install' and a 'CLICK HERE TO ACCESS MINECRAFT GENERATOR' call to action. It also includes a heuristic firing for a social engineering attack (ClickFix) that instructs the user to press Win+R or paste a command into a terminal, likely to bypass macro restrictions and execute a malicious payload. The embedded URLs point to external resources that likely host the second-stage malware.

Machine Learning

Heuristics 4

  • ClickFix social engineering attack high SE_CLICKFIX
    Document instructs the user to press Win+R or paste a command into a terminal — consistent with ClickFix attacks that bypass macro restrictions by tricking users into running malicious commands directly
  • Visual download / call-to-action button lure low SE_DOWNLOAD_BUTTON
    Document contains a call-to-action phrase ('Click here to download', 'Download Now', etc.) — low-signal unless other findings point to a malicious workflow
  • 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.
