MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF contains a large number of embedded links to external PDF files, a technique commonly used for SEO poisoning or to redirect users to malicious content. The ClamAV detection 'Pdf.Phishing.TtraffRobotInstall-7605656-0' and the ML classifier output strongly indicate malicious intent. No scripts were extracted, but the primary attack pattern involves directing users to a network of suspicious URLs.
