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

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, identified by multiple heuristics and ClamAV detection as malicious (Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36121). The JavaScript attempts to deobfuscate a string by taking every second character from the PDF's title field and then executes this deobfuscated string. This behavior strongly suggests the script is designed to download and execute a secondary malicious payload, a common technique for PDF-based exploits.
