MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF contains a large number of embedded URLs pointing to other PDF files hosted on various domains. This technique is often used for SEO spam or to distribute malicious content. The ClamAV detection 'Pdf.Phishing.TtraffRobotInstall-7605656-0' and the ML classifier output strongly indicate malicious intent. No scripts were extracted from this sample, so the attack pattern is inferred from the URL distribution.
