T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment
The PDF sample contains multiple indicators of malicious JavaScript, including embedded JS streams and the use of ASCIIHexDecode and ASCII85Decode filters, which are often used to obfuscate malicious code. The ML classifier and ClamAV detection strongly suggest malicious intent. The embedded JavaScript, though heavily obfuscated, is designed to execute and likely download a second-stage payload.

-
ASCIIHexDecode filter (with exploit indicators) medium PDF_FILTER_HEXHex-encoding filter present alongside exploit delivery indicators — often used to hide payload or shellcode bytes
-
JavaScript action low PDF_JAVASCRIPTPDF contains a /JavaScript action. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
-
Embedded JS stream low PDF_JSPDF references a /JS stream. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
-
ASCII85Decode filter (with exploit indicators) low PDF_FILTER_85ASCII85 encoding filter present alongside exploit delivery indicators — uncommon outside of obfuscation
-
Optional Content Group with action trigger low PDF_OPTIONAL_CONTENTOptional Content Group (layer) co-occurs with an action trigger — content can be selectively hidden from viewers or scanners while the action still fires on open
