MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious Link

The PDF contains a large number of embedded links to external PDF files hosted on numerous domains, as indicated by the PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM heuristic. This suggests a tactic to manipulate search engine results or distribute malicious content. The ML classifier and ClamAV detection strongly support its malicious nature, classifying it as phishing-related malware. No scripts were extracted, and the document body is heavily obfuscated, but the primary attack pattern is the distribution of links.
