T1059.001 PowerShell
The PDF file was flagged as malicious by a machine learning classifier and contained embedded, obfuscated JavaScript. The JavaScript stream, identified as 'javascript_obj0007_000.js', likely attempts to download and execute a secondary payload. The presence of unescape() calls and ML_NYX_PDF_MALICIOUS heuristic further supports a malicious intent.
