Concrete signature match: Trojan - Appears legitimate but performs malicious actions for JavaScript platform, family Obfuse
This is an obfuscated JavaScript trojan detected by machine learning behavioral analysis, indicating a high-confidence threat. It possesses advanced capabilities for execution via legitimate system utilities (mshta, regsvr32, rundll32, PowerShell), establishing persistence through scheduled tasks and BITS jobs, API hooking for evasion, remote file manipulation, and data encoding, signaling a comprehensive attack framework.

Immediately isolate the affected system, remove the detected threat, and perform a full system scan with updated security software. Investigate for any established persistence mechanisms (e.g., scheduled tasks, registry entries) and signs of further compromise such as C2 communication or data exfiltration. Reimaging the system is highly recommended to ensure complete eradication.
