MITRE ATT&CK
T1204 Malicious Link

The critical ClamAV heuristic 'Pdf.Exploit.Pdfka-9' and the high ML classifier score strongly indicate malicious intent. The presence of embedded JavaScript, identified by PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics, suggests the PDF is designed to execute malicious code, likely to download and run a secondary payload.

Heuristics 3

  • ClamAV detection on extracted artifact critical EXTRACTED_FILE_CLAMAV
    ClamAV flagged at least one file extracted from inside this sample. Even when the wrapping document carries no AV detection of its own, a hit on the carved artifact is a strong indicator the sample is a delivery vehicle.
  • 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.
