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

The PDF file contains a large number of embedded links to other PDF files, masquerading as TOEFL Junior mock tests. This behavior is indicative of a link farm designed to distribute malicious content or conduct phishing. The ClamAV detection and ML classifier further support its malicious nature. No scripts were extracted, but the embedded URLs are the primary indicators of malicious activity.
