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

The PDF file contains a large number of embedded URLs pointing to other PDF files, a technique commonly used for SEO spam or phishing campaigns. The ClamAV detection as 'Pdf.Phishing.TtraffRobotInstall-7605656-0' further supports its malicious nature. The embedded URLs are likely used to redirect users to malicious content or to improve search engine rankings for malicious sites.
