The PDF contains a large number of embedded links to external PDF files, a technique often used for SEO poisoning or to redirect users to malicious content. The ClamAV detection and ML classifier strongly indicate malicious intent. The document body, though heavily truncated, mentions 'Upsssc chakbandi adhikari previous year question paper', suggesting a lure for exam-related information, which is then used to mask the malicious link farm.
