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

The PDF contains embedded JavaScript, flagged by multiple heuristics and identified by ClamAV as Win.Trojan.Agent-36166. The JavaScript appears to be heavily obfuscated but is likely responsible for downloading and executing a secondary payload, a common tactic for this type of malware. The presence of JavaScript actions and embedded JS streams strongly suggests malicious intent.
