T1059.001 Command and Scripting Interpreter: PowerShell
T1204.002 Malicious File: Malicious JavaScript
The PDF file was flagged as malicious by an ML classifier with a high score. Static analysis detected embedded JavaScript, including a call to eval(), indicating that the script is likely obfuscated and designed to execute arbitrary code. The presence of JavaScript actions and streams within the PDF points to a common delivery mechanism for malware. No specific family could be identified, but the techniques used suggest a downloader or exploit loader.
