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

The critical ClamAV heuristic indicates this PDF is malicious, specifically identified as Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36063. Low-severity heuristics confirm the presence of embedded JavaScript and PDF-specific exploit primitives. The embedded JavaScript, although large, is likely responsible for the exploit execution, potentially downloading a second-stage payload.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36063 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36063
  • 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.
  • syncAnnotScan annotation-staging primitive low PDF_FOXIT_SYNCANNOTSCAN
    PDF JavaScript calls syncAnnotScan() — a no-op annotation-enumeration primitive used by exploit-kit JavaScript to stage payload reads from annotation /Subject fields before eval(). Not a vulnerable sink itself; rarely seen in legitimate PDFs. (matched in decompressed stream)
