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

This PDF file was flagged as malicious by multiple heuristics and a machine learning classifier. It contains embedded JavaScript which is heavily obfuscated but appears to be designed to download and execute a second-stage payload, as indicated by the ClamAV detection of 'Win.Trojan.Agent-36166'. The obfuscated JavaScript and the PDF format suggest it was likely delivered as a spearphishing attachment.
