MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.007 JavaScript T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF is encrypted and flagged by multiple detection engines, including ClamAV as Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7223524-0. Static triage indicates obfuscated JavaScript within an embedded stream, suggesting it's intended to download and execute a secondary payload. The presence of obfuscated JavaScript points to the T1059.007 (JavaScript) technique. Given the nature of dropper malware, it is likely delivered via T1566.001 (Spearphishing Attachment).

    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7223524-0
  • Suspicious extracted artifact medium EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
    One or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
  • Encrypted PDF (string and stream contents are opaque to static scan) info PDF_ENCRYPTED
    PDF declares /Encrypt — string objects and stream contents are encrypted with the standard security handler (RC4 or AES). On its own this is informational; legitimate encrypted documents include signed contracts, billing statements, and rights-managed material. Static heuristics cannot inspect encrypted payload bytes.
