T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment
The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript within its metadata, which is designed to decode and execute a stager. This stager likely downloads and executes a second-stage payload, as indicated by the 'Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-94' ClamAV detection. The JavaScript obfuscation and eval usage are common techniques for initial payload delivery.
