T1204.002 Malicious File
The critical heuristic firing for PDF_EVAL, along with PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS, indicates that the PDF contains and executes JavaScript. The ClamAV detection of 'Pdf.Exploit.Agent-20278' strongly suggests this is a known exploit. The embedded JavaScript, though large, is likely responsible for downloading and executing a secondary payload, which is a common attack vector for this type of exploit.
