MITRE ATT&CK
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF file contains an XFA form and triggers the CVE-2010-0188 exploit, which is known to target Adobe Reader. ClamAV also identified this file as Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-78. The embedded URL is likely part of the exploit chain, potentially used to download a secondary payload. The script content, though obfuscated, suggests it attempts to execute further malicious code.
