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

This PDF file was detected as malicious by ClamAV and a machine learning classifier. It contains embedded JavaScript which is likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload, as indicated by the 'Win.Trojan.Agent-36166' detection. The JavaScript itself is heavily obfuscated, making a precise analysis of its actions difficult, but its presence strongly suggests an exploit attempt.
