MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1566.002 Spearphishing Link

The PDF contains a large number of embedded external links, a technique often used for SEO poisoning or to direct users to malicious content. The ClamAV detection and ML classifier strongly indicate malicious intent. The document body itself is largely unreadable, but the presence of the URLs and the heuristic firings are sufficient to assess the attack pattern.
