The PDF file contains a large number of embedded links to external PDF files hosted on various domains. This technique, identified by the PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM heuristic, is often used for SEO manipulation or to distribute malicious payloads. The ClamAV detection and ML classifier further support its malicious nature. While no scripts were extracted, the sheer volume of outbound links suggests a coordinated effort to redirect users to potentially harmful content.
