MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 JavaScript/JScript T1204.002 Malicious Link/URL

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by multiple heuristic firings including PDF_JAVASCRIPT, PDF_JS, and PDF_EVAL. The ClamAV detection 'Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7236951-0' strongly suggests malicious intent. The embedded JavaScript is likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload, a common dropper behavior. The document body is heavily obfuscated and unreadable, providing no further context on the lure.

Heuristics 6

  • ClamAV: Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7236951-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7236951-0
  • eval() call high PDF_EVAL
    eval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution (matched inside decoded stream)
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Optional Content Group with action trigger low PDF_OPTIONAL_CONTENT
    Optional Content Group (layer) co-occurs with an action trigger — content can be selectively hidden from viewers or scanners while the action still fires on open
