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

The PDF file was flagged by multiple heuristics, including a critical ClamAV detection for 'Win.Trojan.Agent-36166'. The presence of embedded JavaScript, indicated by PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics, suggests an attempt to execute malicious code upon opening the document. The ML classifier also strongly indicated maliciousness. The extracted artifact's ClamAV detection further corroborates the malicious nature of the file.
