MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious Link

The file was detected as malicious by ClamAV and an ML classifier. A PDF URI heuristic identified an external URL, https://themcdevittstudio.com/blacksad/wp-admin/wp-content/secure.outlook.bhsjsdhsbkjasjbhuiqqhebjasdfbjkbfa/c52653befcf09d98bc637bfbd2336c8f/, which is likely used to deliver a second-stage payload. The document body was unreadable, but the presence of the malicious URL and the detection signatures strongly suggest a dropper or downloader attack pattern.
