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

The PDF utilizes XFA forms and contains an embedded script payload, strongly indicating malicious intent. The ML classifier and ClamAV detection confirm this, flagging it as Pdf.Exploit.Agent-6136306-0. The embedded script is likely responsible for executing the exploit and delivering a secondary payload, though its exact function is obscured by the PDF structure.
