MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. ClamAV also flagged it as Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject. The embedded JavaScript, named javascript_obj0012_000.js, is likely responsible for downloading and executing a secondary payload. The XFA form heuristic suggests a more complex document structure, potentially used to hide malicious content.
