MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF contains an embedded file, indicated by the PDF_EMBEDDED heuristic and the presence of 'embedded_file_obj0001.bin'. This embedded file is likely a secondary payload. The ClamAV detection 'Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject' further supports the malicious nature of the PDF. The XFA form heuristic suggests a complex document structure often used to hide malicious content. The attack pattern is inferred to be the delivery of a malicious payload via a PDF attachment.
