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

The PDF file was flagged by multiple heuristics, including a high-severity ML classifier and a critical ClamAV detection for 'Pdf.Dropper.Agent-1828888'. The presence of embedded JavaScript, indicated by 'PDF_JAVASCRIPT' and 'PDF_JS' firings, suggests the script is responsible for the malicious behavior. While the script content itself was not detailed, its presence within a dropper-type PDF strongly implies it's designed to download and execute a secondary payload.
