MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.007 JavaScript T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF contains embedded JavaScript that, when executed, attempts to export a file named 'Invoice_796400.docm'. This embedded file was also detected by ClamAV as 'Doc.Downloader.Jaff-6329915-0', indicating a downloader functionality. The ML classifier and ClamAV detections strongly suggest malicious intent, likely for delivering a secondary payload.
