T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF utilizes XFA forms and contains an embedded script payload, strongly indicating malicious intent. The ML classifier and ClamAV detection further confirm this. The embedded script is likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload, though its exact functionality is obscured by the XFA structure.
