MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.007 JavaScript T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, flagged by multiple heuristics and a critical ClamAV detection (Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36324). The JavaScript is heavily obfuscated but appears to be designed to download and execute a secondary payload. The ML classifier also strongly indicates maliciousness. Given the nature of the embedded script and the exploit detection, the most likely attack pattern is a spearphishing attachment leading to client-side exploitation.
