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

The PDF file contains a large number of embedded links to other PDF files hosted on various domains. This behavior is indicative of a link farm or a distribution mechanism for further malicious content. The ClamAV detection 'Pdf.Phishing.TtraffRobotInstall-7605656-0' further supports a phishing or traffic-generating intent. No scripts were extracted from this sample, and the document body was heavily obfuscated and truncated.

Heuristics 3
