MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF file is identified as malicious by ClamAV and a machine learning classifier. It employs an image-only lure, typical of phishing, with a single clickable action directing to an external URL. The document body is heavily obfuscated and appears to be generated by wkhtmltopdf, suggesting it's not a typical user-facing document but rather a container for the malicious link.
