T1204 Malicious File T1204.002 Malicious File: User Execution: Malicious Attachment T1059.001 Command and Scripting Interpreter: PowerShell T1059.003 Command and Scripting Interpreter: Windows Command Shell T1059.007 Command and Scripting Interpreter: JavaScript/TypeScript

This PDF file exploits several known Adobe Reader vulnerabilities (CVE-2009-4324, CVE-2009-0927, CVE-2007-5659, CVE-2008-2992) by executing obfuscated JavaScript. The embedded JavaScript, identified as 'legacy_pdfkit_stage_000.js', is likely responsible for downloading and executing a secondary payload. The ClamAV detection 'Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36291' further confirms its malicious nature.
