T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF file contains obfuscated JavaScript, as indicated by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. ClamAV also flagged it with Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject. The embedded JavaScript is likely responsible for executing the malicious payload, although its exact function cannot be determined due to obfuscation. The PDF differential parser also failed, suggesting a potentially complex or malformed structure.
