MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1027 Obfuscated Files or Information

The PDF file was flagged by multiple heuristics, including ML classification and ClamAV, for being malicious and obfuscated. It also contains an embedded file, which is a common technique for delivering secondary payloads. The document body itself is heavily obfuscated and unreadable, further supporting the malicious intent. The presence of an embedded file suggests this PDF is likely a dropper or downloader.
