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

The PDF file was flagged by multiple heuristics, including a critical ClamAV detection for obfuscated objects and an ML classifier indicating maliciousness. An embedded file was also extracted, suggesting this PDF is a container for a secondary malicious payload. The document body is heavily obfuscated and unreadable, further supporting the presence of malicious intent.
