MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1059.007 JavaScript

This PDF file was flagged as malicious by a ClamAV signature (Pdf.Dropper.Agent-1828682) and an ML classifier. It contains obfuscated JavaScript streams, including calls to eval(), which are indicative of a dropper or downloader. The script's intent is to execute arbitrary code, likely to fetch and run a secondary payload from a remote source. The presence of multiple JavaScript objects and the use of eval() strongly suggest a malicious intent to compromise the user's system.
