MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. ClamAV detections for 'Pdf.Dropper.Agent-1828728' and 'Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35794' on the main file and an extracted artifact respectively, strongly suggest it's a dropper or exploit. The embedded JavaScript is likely responsible for downloading and executing a secondary payload, a common technique for malicious PDFs.
