T1059.001 PowerShell
T1204.002 Malicious File
The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by multiple heuristic firings including 'PDF_JAVASCRIPT' and 'PDF_JS'. The ML classifier also flagged this PDF as malicious with a high score. While the document body is heavily obfuscated and unreadable, the presence of JavaScript strongly suggests an attempt to execute malicious code. The embedded JavaScript file 'javascript_obj0012_000.js' is the primary IOC. The exact intent of the script cannot be determined due to obfuscation, but it is likely to download and execute a second-stage payload.
