MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. The critical ClamAV detection and suspicious extracted artifact (javascript_obj0013_001.js) with hex escape obfuscation further confirm malicious intent. The embedded JavaScript is likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload, though its exact functionality is obscured by obfuscation.
