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

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. The ClamAV detection for 'Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject' further suggests malicious intent. The embedded JavaScript stream, named 'javascript_obj0006_000.js', is likely responsible for executing malicious code, potentially downloading a second-stage payload. The document body is heavily obfuscated and unreadable, providing no direct clues to the lure.
