MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 JavaScript/JScript T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file was flagged as malicious by multiple heuristics, including a critical ClamAV detection for 'Win.Trojan.Agent-36166'. Embedded JavaScript was detected, which is commonly used to exploit PDF vulnerabilities and download further malicious content. The ML classifier also strongly indicated maliciousness. The obfuscated JavaScript likely attempts to download and execute a second-stage payload.
