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

This PDF file was flagged as malicious by ClamAV and an ML classifier, indicating it contains an exploit. The presence of an XFA form and an embedded script payload strongly suggests the file is designed to leverage these features for malicious purposes. The embedded script likely downloads and executes a second-stage payload, a common technique for initial access.
