The PDF file contains a large number of embedded URLs pointing to other PDF files, a technique commonly used for SEO-based phishing or to distribute further malicious content. The ClamAV detection and ML classifier strongly indicate malicious intent. The embedded URLs are the primary IOCs, suggesting a link farm designed to redirect users to potentially harmful content.
