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

The PDF file triggered critical heuristics indicating it is a dropper, with ClamAV detecting it as 'Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7321310-0' and an extracted artifact as 'Win.Trojan.Agent-36166'. The presence of embedded JavaScript further supports the dropper functionality, suggesting it is designed to download and execute additional malicious content. The document body was unreadable, preventing a more specific assessment of the lure.
