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

The PDF file was flagged by multiple heuristics, including a critical ClamAV detection for 'Win.Trojan.Agent-36166'. The presence of embedded JavaScript, indicated by PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics, suggests an attempt to execute malicious code. This JavaScript likely functions as a downloader for a secondary stage payload, which is consistent with the ClamAV detection.
