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

The PDF was flagged by multiple heuristics, including a critical finding for a large external PDF link farm. The embedded URLs and the document body text, which contains references to 'simulador ser bachiller 2020 pdf', suggest a lure to external resources. While no scripts were explicitly extracted, the nature of the link farm and the ClamAV detection indicate a malicious intent, likely to distribute malware or engage in phishing.
