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

The PDF file was flagged as malicious by multiple heuristics, including a high-confidence ML classifier and ClamAV detections for Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36365 and Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36364. The presence of embedded JavaScript streams indicates an attempt to execute malicious code, likely exploiting a PDF vulnerability to achieve this. The primary attack vector appears to be leveraging embedded scripts for exploitation.
