T1140 Deobfuscate/Decode Files or Information
The PDF contains embedded JavaScript, flagged by multiple heuristics including PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS. High-severity heuristics like PDF_EVAL and PDF_UNESCAPE indicate obfuscated code execution. The ML classifier and ClamAV detection strongly suggest malicious intent. The embedded JavaScript likely downloads and executes a second-stage payload, as indicated by the ML_NYX_PDF_MALICIOUS and CLAMAV_DETECTION findings.
