MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 JavaScript/JScript

The PDF file was flagged by multiple heuristics, including a critical ClamAV detection identifying it as 'Win.Trojan.Agent-36166'. Additionally, it contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. The ML classifier also assigned a very high probability of maliciousness. The embedded JavaScript is likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload, which is a common technique for this type of malware.
