MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.007 Scripting: JavaScript

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by multiple heuristic firings including 'PDF_JAVASCRIPT' and 'PDF_JS'. The embedded JavaScript, named 'javascript_obj0013_001.js', is flagged for hex escape obfuscation and script obfuscation indicators. This suggests the script is designed to perform malicious actions, likely exploiting a PDF vulnerability to gain execution. The ClamAV detection 'Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36014' further confirms its malicious nature.
