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

The PDF file contains an embedded script payload and triggers heuristics related to XFA forms and embedded scripts, indicating an exploit attempt. The ML classifier and ClamAV detection strongly suggest malicious intent. The embedded script is likely responsible for executing the exploit, though its exact function is obscured by the PDF structure.
