MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 Command and Scripting Interpreter: PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File: Malicious File

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript that utilizes eval() and unescape() functions, indicating obfuscation. The ClamAV detection 'Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36082' strongly suggests a known PDF exploit. The deobfuscated JavaScript likely downloads and executes a second-stage payload, which is a common technique for malware delivery. The presence of multiple JavaScript streams and obfuscation techniques points to a malicious intent to compromise the user's system.

Heuristics 7

ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36082 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36082
eval() call high PDF_EVAL

eval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution (matched inside decoded stream)
unescape() call high PDF_UNESCAPE

unescape() found — often used to decode shellcode in PDF JS exploits (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.
String.fromCharCode low PDF_FROMCHARCODE

String.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. (matched inside decoded stream)
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.
