T1059.001 PowerShell
This PDF sample contains multiple embedded JavaScript streams, with high-confidence heuristics indicating the use of eval() for code execution. The ML classifier also strongly flagged this as malicious. The presence of obfuscated JavaScript suggests an attempt to hide the execution of a downloader or other malicious script. The specific intent of the JavaScript is unclear due to obfuscation, but the use of eval() points to dynamic code execution, likely for payload delivery.
