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

The PDF file contains numerous external links, characteristic of a link farm designed to boost search engine rankings for specific keywords. The primary URL, 'https://xajibur.ru/award?keyword=calendario+mondiali+di+calcio+2020+pdf+download', suggests a phishing or scam attempt by masquerading as a download for a sports-related document. The presence of multiple PDF links, some pointing to potentially benign files and others to unknown sources, indicates a distribution mechanism for further malicious content. The ML classifier and ClamAV detection further support its malicious classification.
