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

The PDF contains a large number of embedded links to external PDF files, a technique often used for SEO poisoning or phishing campaigns. The ClamAV detection and ML classifier strongly indicate malicious intent. The heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' specifically identifies the mass linking behavior, with 'blacktheta.com' being the dominant host for these lures.
