MITRE ATT&CK
T1204 Malicious File T1204.002 Malicious File: User Execution

The sample is a PDF file flagged by multiple heuristics, including ML classification and ClamAV, as malicious and obfuscated. It contains an embedded file, 'embedded_file_obj0001.bin', which is a strong indicator of a malicious payload delivery mechanism. The PDF structure itself appears to be obfuscated, further supporting the malicious classification.
