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

The PDF file was flagged by multiple heuristics, including a critical ClamAV detection for 'Win.Trojan.Agent-36166'. Additionally, embedded JavaScript was detected, suggesting the file's purpose is to download and execute a malicious payload. The ML classifier also strongly indicated maliciousness. Due to the lack of specific IOCs beyond the ClamAV signature and the obfuscated nature of the embedded script, the family remains unknown.
