MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF was flagged by ClamAV as Html.Spyware.IMG-7 and a machine learning classifier indicated a high probability of maliciousness. A hidden HTML iframe was detected within the document, suggesting an attempt to redirect the user to an external resource. While most URLs were benign, one unknown URL was present, which could be the target of the iframe.
