MITRE ATT&CK

T1204 Malicious Link T1204.002 Malicious File T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript that exploits multiple known vulnerabilities in Adobe Reader (CVE-2009-4324, CVE-2009-0927, CVE-2007-5659, CVE-2008-2992). The deobfuscated JavaScript is designed to execute arbitrary code, likely leading to the download and execution of a secondary payload. ClamAV detections further confirm the malicious nature of the file.

ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36808 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36808
ClamAV detection on extracted artifact critical EXTRACTED_FILE_CLAMAV

ClamAV flagged at least one file extracted from inside this sample. Even when the wrapping document carries no AV detection of its own, a hit on the carved artifact is a strong indicator the sample is a delivery vehicle.
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.
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.

Extracted artifacts 2

Files carved from inside the sample during analysis.
