MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1553.005 Mark-of-the-Web Bypass

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript and an embedded binary file. The JavaScript stream is likely responsible for executing or extracting the embedded file, which is a common technique for delivering second-stage malware. The heuristics indicate the presence of JavaScript actions and embedded files, supporting this conclusion. The embedded file 'embedded_file_obj0012.bin' is a primary artifact of interest.

Heuristics 5

Malformed active-content stream length medium PDF_MALFORMED_EXPLOIT_STREAM_LENGTH

A PDF stream that carries active/exploit-looking content has a declared /Length that does not match the recovered stream body. Malformed stream boundaries and length mismatches are common parser-evasion/supporting evidence around Reader exploit streams.
JavaScript action low 1 related finding 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.
Embedded file low PDF_EMBEDDED

PDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload
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.

Detection ClamAV: No threats found Obfuscation or payload: likely 327 of 327 identifiers look randomly generated (e.g. 'z5wBj5nrrcA464un61z5wBj5nrrcA464un62z5wB') — consistent with name-mangling obfuscation. Carved artifact contains 145 long base64-like blob(s).
