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

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript that is obfuscated but appears to be designed to download and execute a second-stage payload. The JavaScript function `dskp` reconstructs strings from hexadecimal character codes, and the main execution block calls `eval` on the reconstructed string, indicating malicious intent. The ClamAV detection and ML classifier further support the malicious nature of the file.
