MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file exhibits multiple high-severity indicators, including embedded JavaScript and encryption, which are used to conceal malicious content. ClamAV detection as 'Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7596497-0' strongly suggests its role as a dropper. The presence of numerous streams and JBIG2 decoding further points to obfuscation techniques commonly employed by malware. No document body text was extracted, but the combination of heuristics and the ClamAV signature indicates a malicious dropper.

  • Nyx PDF Classifier clean score 0.1657

Heuristics 7

  • ClamAV: Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7596497-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7596497-0
  • Encrypted PDF carries /jS — payload hidden from static analysis high PDF_ENCRYPTED_WITH_JS
    PDF declares /Encrypt and also references an executable trigger (/jS). Document encryption hides the JavaScript body and stream contents from static scanners — combined with auto-execution indicators this is a known evasion pattern used to deliver weaponised JavaScript that the analyst cannot inspect without the decryption key.
  • JBIG2Decode filter medium PDF_JBIG2
    JBIG2 image decoder present — historically used in zero-click exploits
  • Unusually high stream count medium PDF_MANY_STREAMS
    PDF contains 501+ stream objects — may indicate heap spray or heavy obfuscation
  • 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.
  • PDF paints image(s) but contains no text operators info PDF_IMAGE_ONLY_LURE
    PDF has 2 image XObject(s) and the content stream contains no text-emitting operators (BT/ET, Tj, TJ, ', ") in either raw bytes or decompressed streams — this is the screenshot-as-PDF pattern used to bypass text-based scanners and to deliver instructions purely through rendered pixels. It is informational unless paired with invisible links or risky URI context.
  • Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
    One 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.

Extracted artifacts 32

Files carved from inside the sample during analysis.
