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

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by multiple heuristic firings and the presence of an extracted JavaScript file. The ClamAV detection 'Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36014' strongly suggests this JavaScript is malicious and likely exploits a vulnerability within the PDF reader to execute. The primary IOC is the extracted JavaScript file itself, which is the likely vector for the malicious payload.
