MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript with multiple eval() calls, indicating an attempt to obfuscate malicious code. The ClamAV detection 'Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35587' strongly suggests this is a known exploit. The script likely downloads and executes a second-stage payload, though the exact mechanism is obscured by the eval() functions.

Heuristics 6

ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35587 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35587
ClamAV detection on extracted artifact critical EXTRACTED_FILE_CLAMAV

ClamAV flagged at least one file extracted from inside this sample. Even when the wrapping document carries no AV detection of its own, a hit on the carved artifact is a strong indicator the sample is a delivery vehicle.
eval() call high PDF_EVAL

eval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution
JavaScript action low PDF_JAVASCRIPT

PDF contains a /JavaScript action. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
Embedded JS stream low PDF_JS
