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

The PDF file contains a large number of embedded URLs pointing to external PDF files, a technique commonly used for SEO poisoning or phishing campaigns. The ClamAV detection 'Pdf.Phishing.TtraffRobotInstall-7605656-0' further supports the malicious intent. No scripts were extracted from this sample, but the extensive link farm suggests a redirection or download mechanism is in place.
