MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell

This PDF file was flagged as malicious by an ML classifier and contains multiple JavaScript-related heuristics, including an eval() call. The embedded JavaScript streams, particularly the large decompressed one, are highly suspicious and likely responsible for downloading and executing a secondary payload. The exact functionality of the script is obscured, but its presence and the eval() call strongly indicate malicious intent.
