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

This PDF file was flagged as malicious by multiple heuristics, including a critical ClamAV detection for 'Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36776' and an ML classifier. The presence of embedded JavaScript, identified by PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics, strongly suggests an attempt to exploit a client execution vulnerability. The JavaScript code, though obfuscated, is designed to execute, likely downloading and running a secondary payload. The benign URLs found do not detract from the malicious nature indicated by the exploit and script.

    PDF contains a /JavaScript action. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
  • Embedded JS stream low PDF_JS
    PDF references a /JS stream. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
  • 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.
