MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.007 JavaScript T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF contains embedded JavaScript, identified by heuristics and the 'PDF_JAVASCRIPT' and 'PDF_JS' firings. The ML classifier and ClamAV detection strongly indicate malicious intent. The embedded JavaScript is heavily obfuscated but likely serves to download and execute a secondary payload, as is common for this type of attack. The single embedded URL, while currently unknown reputation, is included as a potential indicator.
