MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF contains a large number of embedded links to external PDF files, a technique often used for SEO poisoning or to redirect users to malicious content. The ClamAV detection as 'Pdf.Phishing.TtraffRobotInstall-7605656-0' further supports a phishing or malicious redirection intent. The document body, though partially corrupted, mentions '5th grade math review packet with answers', suggesting a lure to disguise the malicious links.
