MITRE ATT&CK
T1204.002 Malicious File: Malicious File

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by multiple heuristic firings and the presence of an embedded JS stream. The ClamAV detection 'Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36014' strongly suggests this is an exploit document. The extracted JavaScript file, 'javascript_obj0013_001.js', is likely responsible for the malicious payload execution. The document body is unreadable, but the presence of JavaScript and the ClamAV signature point to an exploit delivery mechanism.
