MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF file contains a large number of embedded external links to other PDF files hosted on various domains. This behavior is indicative of a link farm or a distribution mechanism for further malicious content, as flagged by the PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM heuristic. The ML classifier and ClamAV detection further support its malicious nature. No scripts were extracted, and the document body was heavily obfuscated, but the primary attack pattern involves redirecting users to a network of external resources.
