MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.007 JavaScript

The PDF contains a large number of embedded links to other PDF files, disguised as educational resources. The heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' and the ClamAV detection 'Pdf.Phishing.TtraffRobotInstall-7605656-0' strongly indicate a phishing or malicious redirection campaign. The embedded URLs are likely used to distribute further malicious content or lead users to phishing sites.
