MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 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 malicious payloads. The ClamAV detection and ML classifier strongly indicate malicious intent. The document body, while containing garbled text, also includes references to 'Army apft walk' and lists numerous URLs, reinforcing the link farm heuristic.
