MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF contains a large number of embedded URLs pointing to external PDF files, a technique often used for SEO spam or to distribute further malicious content. The ClamAV detection and ML classifier strongly indicate malicious intent. The document body is heavily obfuscated and does not provide clear instructions, but the heuristic firings are sufficient to assess the attack pattern.
