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

The PDF file was flagged as malicious by a machine learning classifier and ClamAV, identifying it as Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7244126-0. Static analysis revealed embedded JavaScript streams, including one that utilizes `eval()` and `String.fromCharCode()`, indicating obfuscated code execution. This JavaScript is likely responsible for downloading and executing a secondary payload. The document body contains nonsensical text, suggesting it is a lure.

Machine Learning

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 1.0000

Heuristics 6

  • ClamAV: Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7244126-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7244126-0
  • 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.
  • String.fromCharCode low PDF_FROMCHARCODE
    String.fromCharCode found — used to construct payload strings dynamically. Common in benign JavaScript libraries for codepoint manipulation, so this alone is informational; weaponised use is also caught by the dedicated fromCharCode-stage and exploit-shape 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.
