MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell

The file is identified as malicious by ClamAV with the signature Win.Trojan.Agent-36166. Static analysis revealed embedded JavaScript, indicated by PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. This JavaScript is likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload, contributing to the overall malicious nature of the document. The document body was unreadable, so the rationale is based on the heuristics and ClamAV detection.
