Static analysis revealed embedded JavaScript, indicated by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. The presence of an obfuscated JavaScript file (javascript_obj0013_001.js) suggests it is likely used to download and execute a second-stage payload. The ML classifier output of 0.999994 further supports a high likelihood of malicious intent.
