T1059.007 JavaScript T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, flagged by multiple heuristics and a machine learning classifier as malicious. ClamAV also detected it as Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36324. The JavaScript appears to be obfuscated but is designed to download and execute a secondary payload, a common technique for malware delivery. The specific exploit and payload are not fully discernible due to obfuscation, hence the family is unknown.
