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

The PDF file was flagged as malicious by multiple heuristics, including a critical ClamAV detection identifying it as 'Win.Trojan.Agent-36166'. Additionally, ML classification provided a very high confidence score. The presence of embedded JavaScript, indicated by 'PDF_JAVASCRIPT' and 'PDF_JS' heuristics, suggests the document is designed to execute malicious code upon opening. The extracted artifact 'javascript_obj0007_000.js' likely contains the malicious script.
