MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.007 JavaScript T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF file contains obfuscated JavaScript, indicated by multiple heuristic firings related to PDF JavaScript actions and embedded JS streams. The ML classifier and ClamAV detection strongly suggest malicious intent. The JavaScript appears to be designed to download and execute a second-stage payload, as evidenced by the use of eval and string concatenation to construct code. The document's metadata suggests it was created using PScript5.dll, a common tool for generating malicious PDFs.
