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

The PDF file was flagged as malicious by multiple heuristics, including a critical ClamAV detection for Win.Trojan.Agent-36166. The presence of embedded JavaScript, indicated by PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics, suggests the file is designed to execute code. While the JavaScript content itself was not detailed, the overall detection points to a malicious payload delivery mechanism. The SHA256 hash is included as a primary IOC.
