MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF contains a large number of embedded links to external PDF files, a technique commonly used for SEO poisoning and phishing. The ClamAV detection and ML classifier strongly indicate malicious intent. The document body, though partially corrupted, mentions 'Comparative adjectives and adverbs pdf' and includes the URLs, suggesting a lure to download further malicious content.
