MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 Command and Scripting Interpreter: PowerShell

The PDF file contains obfuscated JavaScript, indicated by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. ClamAV also flagged this file as malicious due to Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject. The embedded JavaScript is likely responsible for executing the malicious payload, although its exact function cannot be determined due to obfuscation. The attack pattern is consistent with a malicious PDF designed to deliver a secondary payload.
