MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.007 JavaScript T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, flagged by multiple heuristics and ClamAV. The JavaScript appears to be obfuscated but is designed to download and execute a secondary payload, as indicated by the ClamAV detection on an extracted JavaScript artifact. This suggests a multi-stage attack, likely initiated via spearphishing.
