MITRE ATT&CK

T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

The PDF file contains an embedded XFA form that exploits CVE-2010-0188, a vulnerability in Adobe Reader's LibTIFF processing. This exploit is designed to execute arbitrary code on the victim's machine. The presence of JavaScript actions and embedded JS streams further supports the malicious intent of code execution.

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

PDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload
XFA form low PDF_XFA

PDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
