MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF file contains a large number of embedded links to other PDF files, a technique commonly used for SEO poisoning or to distribute malicious content. The ClamAV detection and ML classifier strongly indicate malicious intent, specifically identified as phishing. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains references to downloading free movies, likely a lure to encourage users to click the malicious links.
