MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious Link

The PDF contains a large number of external links to other PDF files, a technique commonly used for SEO poisoning or distributing malicious content. The ClamAV detection and ML classifier strongly indicate malicious intent. The document body, though partially corrupted, contains text related to song downloads, which is likely a lure to disguise the malicious nature of the links. The primary attack pattern involves redirecting users to these external PDF links.
