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

The PDF contains a large number of embedded links to external PDF files, a technique commonly used for SEO poisoning and phishing. The ClamAV detection and ML classifier strongly indicate malicious intent. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, appears to be a lure disguised as a volleyball score sheet, directing users to a malicious domain.
