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

The sample is a PDF file flagged by multiple heuristics, including a critical ClamAV detection for obfuscated objects and an ML classifier indicating maliciousness. The presence of embedded JavaScript, identified by PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics, strongly suggests an attempt to exploit vulnerabilities within the PDF reader. While the document body is unreadable, the embedded JavaScript is the primary indicator of malicious intent, likely to download and execute a secondary payload.

  • 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.
  • XFA form low PDF_XFA
    PDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
  • 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.
