MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file was flagged by multiple heuristics, including a critical ClamAV detection for obfuscated objects and an ML classifier indicating high maliciousness. An embedded file was also extracted, suggesting the PDF is a dropper for a secondary payload. The document body was unreadable, but the presence of an embedded file and the heuristic firings strongly indicate a malicious intent to deliver further malware.
