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-20203). The ML classifier also strongly indicated maliciousness. The JavaScript is obfuscated but its presence and the exploit detection suggest it is used to download and execute a second-stage payload, a common technique for initial compromise via malicious documents.
