MITRE ATT&CK
T1204 Malicious Link T1204.002 Malicious Link: Malicious File T1059 Command and Scripting Interpreter T1059.005 Command and Scripting Interpreter: Visual Basic

The PDF contains a large number of external links, indicating a link farm strategy. The 'SE_ENABLE_LURE' heuristic confirms that the document instructs the user to enable macros or editing, a common technique for malware droppers. The ClamAV detection further supports its malicious nature. The primary attack pattern involves tricking the user into enabling content to download and execute a secondary payload.
