MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.007 JavaScript T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, flagged by multiple heuristics and ClamAV as malicious (Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36128). The JavaScript appears to be heavily obfuscated but is designed to execute an exploit. This execution likely leads to the download and execution of a second-stage payload, a common technique for malware delivery.
