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

The file is a PDF containing embedded JavaScript, as indicated by multiple heuristic firings and ClamAV detection (Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35572). The ML classifier also flagged it as highly malicious. The embedded JavaScript stream, named 'javascript_obj0007_000.js', is the primary indicator of malicious activity. While the exact script functionality is not fully detailed, its presence within a PDF known to exploit vulnerabilities strongly suggests it's used to download and execute a secondary payload.
