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 CLAMAV_DETECTION heuristic identifies the file as 'Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36014', suggesting it exploits a known PDF vulnerability. The extracted JavaScript file exhibits obfuscation, typical of malware attempting to hide its malicious payload. The primary attack pattern involves luring the user into opening the PDF, which then triggers the embedded JavaScript exploit.
