T1027 Obfuscated Files or Information
The PDF file exhibits high-severity heuristic firings for JavaScript obfuscation and eval/unescape calls, indicating malicious intent. The embedded JavaScript stream, named 'javascript_obj0116_000.js', is the primary artifact. While the exact payload is not directly visible due to obfuscation, the presence of these indicators strongly suggests the script's purpose is to download and execute a second-stage payload. The ClamAV detection further corroborates the malicious nature of the file.
Heuristics 7
-
ClamAV: Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject critical CLAMAV_DETECTIONClamAV detected this file as malware: Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject
-
eval() call high PDF_EVALeval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution
-
unescape() call high PDF_UNESCAPEunescape() found — often used to decode shellcode in PDF JS exploits (matched inside decoded stream)
-
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.
-
PDF differential parser failed info PDF_DIFFERENTIAL_PARSE_FAILEDThe cross-check parser (pdfminer.six) failed on this file: PDF differential parser failed: PSSyntaxError. Static heuristics still ran and any of their findings above are valid; only the differential cross-check signal is missing.
-
Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGEOne 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.
