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

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. The ClamAV detection further confirms its malicious nature. The embedded JavaScript, named 'javascript_obj0012_000.js', is likely responsible for executing the exploit. An embedded URL, http://www.bitstream.com, was also found, which could be used to download additional payloads. The exact function of the JavaScript is unclear due to obfuscation, but it is highly probable that it exploits a vulnerability to achieve its malicious objective.

    PDF references a /JS stream. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
