MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 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 malicious content. 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 firings are sufficient to determine the attack pattern.
