MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.007 JavaScript T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The critical ClamAV detection and high ML classifier score indicate maliciousness. Embedded JavaScript, identified by multiple heuristics, is present and likely responsible for executing the exploit. The JavaScript's obfuscated nature prevents a detailed analysis of its exact payload, but its presence strongly suggests a downloader or exploit execution pattern.
