T1204.002 Malicious File
The PDF contains embedded JavaScript, which is obfuscated and uses an eval() call, indicating malicious intent. The ClamAV heuristic also flags it as obfuscated. The primary function of the embedded JavaScript appears to be downloading and executing a second-stage payload, as suggested by the heuristic 'Suspicious extracted artifact — Signals: Script obfuscation indicators; files: javascript_obj0018_001.js'. The specific URLs or final payloads were not directly extracted, leading to a lower confidence in family attribution.
Heuristics 6
-
ClamAV: Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject critical CLAMAV_DETECTIONClamAV detected this file as malware: Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject
-
eval() call high PDF_EVALeval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution (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.
-
Optional Content Group with action trigger low PDF_OPTIONAL_CONTENTOptional Content Group (layer) co-occurs with an action trigger — content can be selectively hidden from viewers or scanners while the action still fires on open
-
Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGEOne 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.
