MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell 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_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject
  • eval() call high PDF_EVAL
    eval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution (matched inside decoded stream)
  • 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.
  • Optional Content Group with action trigger low PDF_OPTIONAL_CONTENT
    Optional 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_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.

Extracted artifacts 2
