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

The PDF contains a large number of embedded URLs pointing to other PDF files, a technique often used for SEO spam or to distribute further malicious content. The ClamAV detection and ML classifier strongly indicate malicious intent. No scripts were extracted, and the document body was heavily obfuscated, preventing a deeper analysis of the specific lure.
