The sample is a PDF file flagged by ClamAV as Pdf.Exploit.Agent-21608. Static analysis revealed embedded JavaScript with high-confidence indicators of maliciousness, including an eval() call and ML classification. The JavaScript appears to be heavily obfuscated, but its intent is to execute malicious code, likely downloading a second-stage payload. The presence of JavaScript actions and embedded JS streams further supports this conclusion.
