MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.007 JavaScript

The PDF contains numerous external links, forming a link farm, and is flagged by ClamAV as a phishing trojan. The primary URL, 'https://traffking.ru/strik?utm_term=city+of+san+jose+permit+center', suggests a lure related to city permits, likely intended to deceive users into visiting malicious sites. No scripts were extracted, but the PDF structure and embedded links indicate a malicious intent to redirect users.
