MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.007 Scripting: JavaScript

The PDF file was flagged as malicious by ML classifiers and ClamAV, indicating it contains an exploit. Embedded JavaScript, identified by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics, is present and likely responsible for the malicious behavior. The extracted artifact 'javascript_obj0013_001.js' is the primary indicator of compromise. The ML_NYX_PDF_MALICIOUS heuristic and the ClamAV detection 'Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36014' strongly suggest this PDF is designed to deliver a payload via JavaScript execution.
