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

The PDF exhibits characteristics of malicious intent, including the presence of an XFA form and an embedded script payload. ML classifiers and ClamAV detections strongly indicate maliciousness, specifically identifying it as Pdf.Exploit.Agent-6136306-0. The embedded script is likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload, a common technique for PDF-based malware delivery.
