The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, flagged by multiple heuristics and a critical ClamAV detection for obfuscated objects. The JavaScript code is heavily obfuscated and appears to be designed to download and execute a second-stage payload. The ML classifier also strongly indicates maliciousness. Given the nature of PDF exploits, it is highly probable that this file was delivered as a spearphishing attachment.
