T1059.001 Command and Scripting Interpreter: PowerShell
T1204.002 Malicious File: Malicious File
The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. The presence of PDF_EVAL and PDF_UNESCAPE suggests the JavaScript is obfuscated and uses eval() to execute code. This is consistent with a PDF exploit that downloads and executes a second-stage payload. The ClamAV detection 'Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35930' further supports this assessment.
Heuristics 6
-
ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35930 critical CLAMAV_DETECTIONClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35930
-
eval() call high PDF_EVALeval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution (matched inside decoded stream)
-
unescape() call high PDF_UNESCAPEunescape() found — often used to decode shellcode in PDF JS exploits (matched inside decoded stream)
-
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.
-
