T1204.002 Malicious File T1059.001 PowerShell

The sample is a PDF file that leverages XFA forms to exploit CVE-2010-0188 in Adobe Reader. The embedded JavaScript, when decoded, appears to be designed to download and execute a second-stage payload. The ClamAV detection 'Js.Exploit.HTML-30' further supports the malicious nature of the embedded script.
