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

The PDF contains a large number of embedded links to external websites, masquerading as a performance appraisal document. The ClamAV detection and ML classifier strongly indicate malicious intent, likely to redirect users to phishing or malware distribution sites. No scripts were extracted, but the PDF structure itself facilitates the attack by hosting numerous URLs.
