MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment

The file is a PDF containing embedded JavaScript, indicated by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. ClamAV also flagged it as Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject, suggesting malicious obfuscation. The embedded JavaScript, named 'javascript_obj0012_000.js', is likely responsible for executing the malicious payload. An embedded URL, http://www.bitstream.com, was also found, which could be used for further stages of the attack.
