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

The PDF contains a large number of embedded links to external PDF files, a technique often used for SEO manipulation or to distribute further malicious content. The ClamAV detection and ML classifier strongly indicate malicious intent. No scripts were extracted, and the document body was unreadable, but the heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' and the sheer volume of links to 'www.gorillawalker.com' are the primary indicators of the attack pattern.
