MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.007 JavaScript

The PDF contains a heuristic firing for a link farm pointing to external PDFs, with one primary URL identified as suspicious. ClamAV also detected it as a phishing trojan. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains text related to relationships, likely a lure to disguise the malicious intent of directing users to the Zajinet.ru URL.
