MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file was flagged by ClamAV as Win.Trojan.Agent-36166, indicating a known malicious signature. Static analysis revealed embedded JavaScript, which is a common technique for delivering malware. The JavaScript stream, named 'javascript_obj0007_000.js', is the primary indicator of malicious activity, likely serving to download and execute a second-stage payload. The document body was unreadable, but the presence of JavaScript and the ClamAV detection strongly suggest a malicious intent.
