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

The file is a PDF containing obfuscated JavaScript, as indicated by the 'PDF_JAVASCRIPT' and 'PDF_JS' heuristics, and a critical ClamAV detection for 'Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject'. The embedded JavaScript is likely designed to exploit a vulnerability within the PDF viewer to download and execute a secondary payload. The exact nature of the exploit and payload cannot be determined due to obfuscation, leading to a lower confidence score and an unknown family attribution.
