MITRE ATT&CK
T1027 Obfuscated Files or Information

The PDF contains embedded and obfuscated JavaScript, as indicated by multiple heuristic firings including PDF_JAVASCRIPT, PDF_JS, and PDF_UNESCAPE. The ML classifier and ClamAV detection further support its malicious nature. The embedded JavaScript file, javascript_obj0006_000.js, is likely responsible for executing the malicious payload, though its specific actions are obscured by obfuscation.

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject
  • 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.
