T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.001 Malicious Link T1204.002 Malicious File

The sample is a PDF file that contains obfuscated JavaScript, which is designed to exploit multiple known vulnerabilities in Adobe Reader (CVE-2009-4324, CVE-2009-0927, CVE-2007-5659, CVE-2008-2992). The embedded JavaScript is decoded using a character table and then evaluated, likely to download and execute a second-stage payload. The ClamAV detection of 'Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-91' further confirms its malicious nature.
