MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.007 JavaScript

The PDF contains a large number of external links, many pointing to S3 buckets and other domains, suggesting a link farm or phishing operation. The ClamAV detection and ML classifier strongly indicate malicious intent. The embedded URL 'https://trafficel.ru/aws?utm_term=search+multiple+excel+sheets+at+once' is likely part of the lure to direct users to a malicious site.
