MITRE ATT&CK
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

This PDF file was flagged as malicious by ML classifiers and ClamAV due to obfuscated objects and an embedded file. The presence of XFA forms and embedded files suggests an attempt to exploit client-side vulnerabilities for code execution. The embedded file, 'embedded_file_obj0001.bin', is the primary indicator of malicious activity.
