T1059.001 PowerShell
T1204.002 Malicious File
The file is a PDF containing embedded JavaScript, as indicated by multiple heuristic firings including PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS. ClamAV detection as 'Js.Exploit.Shellcode-18' strongly suggests the JavaScript is malicious and exploits a vulnerability. The PDF_FILTER_HEX heuristic also points to potential exploit code. The embedded JavaScript is likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload.
Heuristics 7
-
ClamAV: Js.Exploit.Shellcode-18 critical CLAMAV_DETECTIONClamAV detected this file as malware: Js.Exploit.Shellcode-18
-
ASCIIHexDecode filter (with exploit indicators) medium PDF_FILTER_HEXHex-encoding filter present alongside exploit delivery indicators — often used to hide payload or shellcode bytes
-
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.
-
XFA form low PDF_XFAPDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
-
PDF differential parser failed info PDF_DIFFERENTIAL_PARSE_FAILEDThe cross-check parser (pdfminer.six) failed on this file: PDF differential parser exited 1. Static heuristics still ran and any of their findings above are valid; only the differential cross-check signal is missing.
-
Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URLOne or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.URL http://ns.adobe.com/xdp/
