MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 JavaScript T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file was flagged as malicious by an ML classifier with a high confidence score. Static analysis revealed embedded JavaScript, including an eval() call, indicating that the script is likely obfuscated and designed to execute arbitrary code. The presence of a JavaScript action and an embedded JS stream further supports this. The extracted artifact 'javascript_obj0001_000.js' is the likely payload.
