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

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript and triggers multiple critical heuristics related to known PDF exploits (CVE-2009-4324, CVE-2009-0927, CVE-2007-5659, CVE-2008-2992). These exploits leverage crafted PDF /Info fields to execute JavaScript, which is a common technique for delivering secondary payloads. The presence of deobfuscated JavaScript further supports this. The file was detected by ClamAV as Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36895.
