T1059.007 JavaScript
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 Win.Trojan.Agent-36166. The JavaScript appears to be obfuscated but is likely responsible for downloading and executing a secondary payload, a common technique for malware distribution. Given the nature of the file and its embedded script, it is highly probable that this was delivered as a spearphishing attachment.
