MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, flagged by multiple heuristics as malicious. The ML classifier strongly indicates malicious intent. The extracted JavaScript file, despite some obfuscation, is likely responsible for downloading and executing a secondary payload, which is a common technique for malware delivery.

Machine Learning
