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

The PDF contains embedded JavaScript, flagged by multiple heuristics including PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS. The critical ClamAV detection and ML classifier output strongly indicate malicious intent. The JavaScript stream, identified as javascript_obj0007_000.js, likely contains obfuscated code that uses an eval() call to execute a payload, as indicated by the PDF_EVAL heuristic. This points to a dropper functionality, where the PDF serves as a container for delivering further malicious content.

  • 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.
