MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.007 JavaScript T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF contains embedded JavaScript, flagged by multiple heuristics, and is identified by ClamAV as Win.Trojan.Agent-36166. The JavaScript is heavily obfuscated but appears to be designed to download and execute a secondary payload, a common technique for malware delivery. The ML classifier also strongly indicates maliciousness.
