MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF file contains a hidden HTML iframe, which is a common technique for redirecting users to malicious websites. ClamAV identified the file as Html.Spyware.IMG-7. The embedded URL 'http://www.codeforum.cn/free/max1.htm' is marked as unknown reputation and is likely the destination of the iframe, aiming to deliver a malicious payload.
