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

The PDF file contains a large number of embedded external links, a technique often used for SEO poisoning or phishing campaigns. The ML classifier strongly indicated maliciousness. The document body, though partially corrupted, contains references to these links, reinforcing the attack pattern. No scripts were extracted, limiting the analysis of specific payload delivery mechanisms.
