MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file was flagged by ML classifiers and ClamAV as malicious (Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35572). Heuristics indicate the presence of embedded JavaScript, which is further supported by the extraction of a JavaScript object file. This JavaScript is likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload, as suggested by the 'Suspicious extracted artifact' heuristic. The ML classifier's high confidence score and the specific ClamAV detection point to a known exploit pattern.
