The PDF contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. ClamAV detections for 'Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7274159-0' and 'Win.Trojan.Agent-36166' on an extracted artifact strongly suggest this PDF is a dropper. The embedded JavaScript is likely responsible for downloading and executing the secondary payload. The document body was unreadable, limiting further analysis of the lure.
