MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF is identified as malicious by ClamAV and an ML classifier, and heuristics indicate it's an image-only lure. The document body is heavily obfuscated, but the presence of embedded URLs suggests an attempt to redirect the user to malicious sites. The primary attack pattern involves a phishing lure, likely to download further payloads or steal credentials.
