T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF was flagged by multiple heuristics, including a critical ClamAV detection for Js.Exploit.HTML-30, indicating it contains malicious JavaScript. The presence of XFA forms further suggests an exploit attempt. The embedded JavaScript, although obfuscated, likely attempts to download and execute a second-stage payload, as suggested by the ML classifier's high confidence and the ClamAV detection. The embedded URL is likely part of this exploit chain.
