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

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