T1059.007 JavaScript
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution
The PDF contains embedded JavaScript that attempts to download a second-stage payload from a hardcoded URL. The script reconstructs the URL as 'http://eval/query?a=exemple&b=2' and uses the content of an embedded data object named 'clown' as part of the request. The ML classifier strongly indicates maliciousness, and the malformed stream length heuristic suggests an exploit attempt.

Heuristics 5
-
Malformed active-content stream length medium PDF_MALFORMED_EXPLOIT_STREAM_LENGTHA PDF stream that carries active/exploit-looking content has a declared /Length that does not match the recovered stream body. Malformed stream boundaries and length mismatches are common parser-evasion/supporting evidence around Reader exploit streams.
-
JavaScript action low 1 related finding 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.
-
Embedded file low PDF_EMBEDDEDPDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload
