MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF was flagged as malicious due to the presence of an XFA form and a critical ClamAV detection for Js.Exploit.HTML-30. The embedded URL, while seemingly benign, is part of the exploit chain. The document body contains obfuscated JavaScript, likely intended to download and execute a second-stage payload, which is a common technique for initial access.
