T1059.001 PowerShell T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file exhibits multiple heuristic firings related to JavaScript and obfuscation, including a critical ClamAV detection for 'Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject'. An embedded JavaScript file was extracted, which is a common technique for delivering second-stage malware. The presence of JavaScript actions and streams strongly suggests the document is designed to execute code upon opening, likely to download and run further malicious content.
