MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, flagged by multiple heuristics as suspicious and malicious. The ML classifier assigned a high probability of maliciousness. The extracted JavaScript file, 'javascript_obj0029_000.js', exhibits obfuscation, suggesting it is designed to download and execute a secondary payload. The exact nature of the payload cannot be determined due to obfuscation, but the presence of JavaScript actions and streams points to a downloader or dropper attack pattern.
