The sample is identified as malicious by ClamAV with the signature Pdf.Exploit.Agent-22611. Static analysis revealed embedded JavaScript, which is often used to exploit vulnerabilities in PDF readers. The presence of JavaScript actions and an embedded JS stream strongly suggests that the file attempts to execute malicious code upon opening. The document body is heavily corrupted and unreadable, providing no further context on the specific lure.
