MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.007 Scripting: JavaScript

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by multiple heuristic firings including PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS. The embedded JavaScript, named javascript_obj0013_001.js, is flagged for suspicious characteristics such as hex escape obfuscation and script obfuscation. This suggests the script is designed to perform malicious actions, likely exploiting a PDF vulnerability to achieve code execution. The ClamAV detection further confirms its malicious nature.
