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

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. The ClamAV detection 'Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36014' strongly suggests this is a known exploit. The extracted JavaScript file shows signs of obfuscation, typical for malware attempting to hide its malicious actions, which likely involve exploiting a PDF vulnerability to achieve arbitrary code execution.
