The PDF contains a large number of embedded URLs pointing to other PDF files, a technique often used for SEO manipulation or to distribute malware. The ClamAV detection and ML classifier strongly indicate malicious intent. The primary attack pattern involves directing users to a link farm of external PDFs, likely to host phishing content or further malware.
