T1059.007 JavaScript T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The sample is a PDF file detected by ClamAV as Pdf.Exploit.Agent-22583 and flagged by an ML classifier as malicious. Embedded JavaScript is present, which is obfuscated but appears to construct a string 'eval(rqNKTJ93)' intended for execution. This JavaScript likely serves to download and execute a secondary payload, a common technique for exploiting PDF vulnerabilities.
