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

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, identified by multiple heuristics and a critical ClamAV detection as Win.Trojan.Agent-36166. The JavaScript is heavily obfuscated but its presence and the ClamAV detection strongly indicate that the PDF is designed to download and execute a secondary malicious payload. The ML classifier also flagged this PDF with a very high probability of being malicious.
