MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.007 JavaScript T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF contains embedded JavaScript, identified by multiple heuristics and ClamAV detection as malicious. The JavaScript is heavily obfuscated but appears to be responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload, as indicated by the 'Win.Trojan.Agent-36166' detection. The ML classifier also strongly suggests malicious intent.
