T1059.007 JavaScript
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment
This PDF sample contains obfuscated JavaScript that is designed to be evaluated. The script reconstructs a string of hexadecimal byte values and then uses the `eval` function to execute it, likely to download and run a second-stage payload. The ML classifier and heuristics strongly indicate malicious intent.

This is an old exploit-kit staging pattern and is not normal document JavaScript.
