MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF file contains a heuristic indicating an external URI pointing to a download link, and the document body includes similar URLs. The presence of a 'download button' heuristic further supports the lure. ClamAV detection confirms the malicious nature. The primary attack vector appears to be a social engineering lure disguised as a study guide to trick users into downloading a malicious payload from the provided URLs.
