T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file was flagged by multiple heuristics, including a critical ClamAV detection for 'Win.Trojan.Agent-36166'. Embedded JavaScript was also detected, which is commonly used to download and execute secondary payloads. The ML classifier also provided a very high confidence score for maliciousness. The document body was unreadable, but the presence of JavaScript and the ClamAV detection strongly indicate a malicious downloader.
