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

The PDF file contains a significant number of external links, a technique often used for SEO poisoning or to direct users to malicious sites. The 'ML_NYX_PDF_MALICIOUS' heuristic and the 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' rule strongly indicate malicious intent. The document body, though partially corrupted, contains text that appears to be a lure, and the embedded URLs are the primary indicators of compromise.

    PDF contains an external URL action
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
