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

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by multiple heuristic firings including 'PDF_JAVASCRIPT' and 'PDF_JS'. The 'EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE' heuristic flags suspicious obfuscation within the extracted JavaScript file 'javascript_obj0013_001.js'. ClamAV also detected this as 'Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36014'. The embedded JavaScript is likely responsible for executing a malicious payload, although its specific actions are obscured by obfuscation.
