MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF was flagged by multiple heuristics, including a critical ClamAV detection for obfuscated objects and an ML classifier indicating high maliciousness. The presence of an embedded file further supports the attack pattern of delivering a secondary payload. The document body was unreadable, preventing a more specific analysis of the lure.
