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

The PDF file contains a large number of external links to other PDF files, a technique often used for SEO poisoning or to redirect users to malicious content. ClamAV identified this as Pdf.Phishing.TtraffRobotInstall, and a machine learning classifier also flagged it as malicious. The embedded URLs suggest a phishing or redirection campaign.
