T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF 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 PDF-based malware delivery. The presence of XFA form elements (PDF_XFA) may be used to facilitate the execution of this script.
