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

The PDF file contains a large number of embedded URLs pointing to other PDF documents across various domains. This behavior is indicative of a link farm or a distribution mechanism for further malicious content, as suggested by the 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' and 'CLAMAV_DETECTION' heuristics. The ML classifier also strongly flagged this PDF as malicious. No scripts were extracted from this sample, so the primary attack vector appears to be the redirection to external resources.
