MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.007 JavaScript T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT heuristic and the ML_NYX_PDF_MALICIOUS classification. ClamAV also detected it as Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35606. The JavaScript is likely responsible for exploiting a client-side vulnerability to execute code, which is a common method for downloading and running further malicious stages. No specific family could be identified, and no IOCs were directly extractable from the provided evidence.

  • ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35606 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35606
  • JavaScript action low PDF_JAVASCRIPT
    PDF contains a /JavaScript action. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
  • PDF differential parser failed info PDF_DIFFERENTIAL_PARSE_FAILED
    The cross-check parser (pdfminer.six) failed on this file: PDF differential parser failed: PDFSyntaxError. Static heuristics still ran and any of their findings above are valid; only the differential cross-check signal is missing.
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
