MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious Link

The PDF file contains a large number of external links, a technique commonly used for phishing or distributing further malware. The ClamAV detection as 'Pdf.Phishing.TtraffRobotInstall' further supports this. The embedded document body text, though heavily obfuscated, contains references to IELTS academic reading practice tests, likely a lure to encourage users to click the malicious links.
