MITRE ATT&CK
T1553.005 Mark-of-the-Web Bypass

The PDF file was flagged for containing an embedded file and exhibiting obfuscated object names, indicating a potential attempt to hide malicious content. The embedded file, named 'embedded_file_obj0001.bin', is the primary indicator of a delivery mechanism for a secondary payload. The XFA form detection suggests a complex document structure often used to facilitate exploits.
