MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF document contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. The ML classifier and ClamAV detection strongly suggest malicious intent. The embedded JavaScript is likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload, a common technique for malware delivery. The presence of XFA forms (PDF_XFA) further supports the use of advanced PDF features for exploitation.
