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

The PDF contains a large number of embedded URLs pointing to other PDF files, a technique often used for SEO spam or to distribute further malicious content. The ClamAV detection and ML classifier strongly indicate malicious intent, likely related to phishing or unwanted content distribution. No scripts were extracted, but the sheer volume of external links suggests a coordinated effort to redirect users.
