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

The PDF file contains a large number of external links, a technique often used for SEO manipulation or to redirect users to malicious sites. The heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' specifically identifies this behavior. The ML classifier also strongly indicated maliciousness. The document body contains metadata related to GNS3 and wkhtmltopdf, but the primary malicious activity appears to be the mass distribution of external links.
