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

The PDF contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. The ClamAV detection 'Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36014' strongly suggests this is an exploit. The extracted JavaScript file, 'javascript_obj0013_001.js', likely contains the malicious payload. The exact intent of the script is unclear due to potential obfuscation, but it is highly probable that it attempts to download and execute a second-stage payload.
