MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.007 JavaScript T1105 Ingress Tool Transfer

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript that attempts to evaluate a string constructed from a data object. The JavaScript then calls a function with the content of the data object, which is likely a second-stage payload. The embedded file 'embedded_file_obj0012.bin' is highly suspicious and likely the payload. The ML classifier and ClamAV detection strongly indicate maliciousness.
