MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1059.007 JavaScript

The PDF file was flagged by ClamAV as Pdf.Exploit.Agent-22677 and a high-confidence ML classifier. Embedded JavaScript, including a call to eval(), indicates the execution of obfuscated code. The script attempts to reconstruct a string using concatenation, likely for malicious purposes such as downloading a second-stage payload. The presence of multiple JavaScript streams and the eval() call strongly suggest an exploit or downloader.
