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

The critical ClamAV detection and ML classifier firing strongly indicate malicious intent. The presence of embedded JavaScript, identified by PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics, suggests the document is designed to exploit a vulnerability. The embedded JavaScript file, 'javascript_obj0007_000.js', is the primary artifact for further analysis, likely serving to download and execute a secondary payload. The document body content appears to be obfuscated or corrupted, providing no clear user-facing lure.
