T1059.001 PowerShell
T1204.002 Malicious File
The PDF file was flagged by a machine learning classifier and ClamAV as malicious (Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35572). It contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics, and uses String.fromCharCode, suggesting obfuscation. The ML classifier's high confidence score and the specific ClamAV detection strongly indicate an exploit is present, likely leveraging the embedded JavaScript to deliver a second-stage payload.

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.
-
String.fromCharCode low PDF_FROMCHARCODEString.fromCharCode found — used to construct payload strings dynamically. Common in benign JavaScript libraries for codepoint manipulation, so this alone is informational; weaponised use is also caught by the dedicated fromCharCode-stage and exploit-shape rules.
