MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.001 PowerShell

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, while containing garbled text, includes references to Angular and Adobe, potentially as lures or to appear legitimate. The primary attack pattern involves directing users to a network of linked PDF documents.
