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

The PDF file was flagged as malicious by multiple heuristics and a machine learning classifier, with ClamAV identifying it as Win.Trojan.Agent-36166. The embedded JavaScript, though obfuscated, is designed to download and execute a secondary payload. This behavior is consistent with a downloader trojan delivered via a phishing attachment.
