MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious Link

The PDF contains a significant number of external links, identified by the PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM heuristic, pointing to various domains. The ML classifier also strongly indicated maliciousness. The primary attack pattern appears to be SEO-based link farming, designed to redirect users to potentially malicious sites or to host further attack stages. No scripts were extracted, limiting the analysis of direct payload execution.
