T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF was flagged by multiple heuristics, including a critical ClamAV detection for Js.Exploit.HTML-30, indicating it contains malicious JavaScript. The ML classifier also strongly indicated maliciousness. The embedded URL, while not directly executable, is associated with XFA forms, which are known to be exploited. The JavaScript, though obfuscated, is the primary mechanism for exploitation, likely leading to the download and execution of a second-stage payload.
