MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. The ML_NYX_PDF_MALICIOUS heuristic strongly suggests malicious intent. The extracted JavaScript file, 'javascript_obj0036_000.js', likely contains obfuscated code designed to exploit a vulnerability or download a secondary payload. The presence of JavaScript actions and embedded JS streams points to an attempt to execute code.
