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

The PDF contains a large number of embedded links pointing to external PDF files, a technique often used for SEO poisoning or phishing. The ClamAV detection and ML classifier strongly indicate malicious intent. The document body is heavily obfuscated and does not provide clear user-facing text, but the heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' directly identifies the attack pattern of linking to numerous external PDFs.
