T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

This PDF file contains embedded JavaScript and utilizes obfuscated filters (ASCIIHexDecode, ASCII85Decode) which are common techniques for delivering malicious payloads. The ClamAV detection 'Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject' further indicates malicious intent. The primary attack pattern involves exploiting PDF vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary code, likely leading to a second-stage download.
