T1059.007 JavaScript T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

The PDF contains embedded JavaScript, flagged by multiple heuristics and identified by ClamAV as Win.Trojan.Agent-36166. The JavaScript, though obfuscated, appears to be responsible for downloading and executing a secondary payload. This behavior is consistent with a malicious document delivered via spearphishing, aiming to exploit the user's system.
