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

The critical ClamAV heuristic identifies this file as 'Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7250955-0', indicating a known malicious PDF dropper. The presence of PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics confirms the use of embedded JavaScript. While the specific JavaScript content was not fully detailed in the provided evidence, its presence in a dropper PDF strongly suggests it is used to download and execute a secondary payload, a common technique for malware distribution. The deobfuscated JavaScript, though large, likely contains the logic for fetching and running the next stage.

    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7250955-0
  • 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.
  • syncAnnotScan annotation-staging primitive low PDF_FOXIT_SYNCANNOTSCAN
    PDF JavaScript calls syncAnnotScan() — a no-op annotation-enumeration primitive used by exploit-kit JavaScript to stage payload reads from annotation /Subject fields before eval(). Not a vulnerable sink itself; rarely seen in legitimate PDFs. (matched in decompressed stream)
