MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 Command and Scripting Interpreter: PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File: User Execution: Malicious File

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. The JavaScript stream utilizes eval() and unescape() functions, suggesting obfuscation and dynamic code execution. The ClamAV detection 'Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35930' strongly suggests a known PDF exploit. The primary attack pattern involves leveraging these JavaScript capabilities to execute malicious code, likely downloading and running a secondary payload.

Heuristics 6

  • ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35930 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35930
  • eval() call high PDF_EVAL
    eval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution (matched inside decoded stream)
  • unescape() call high PDF_UNESCAPE
    unescape() found — often used to decode shellcode in PDF JS exploits (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.
  • 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.
