MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 JavaScript/JScript T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF file contains obfuscated JavaScript, indicated by multiple heuristic firings including PDF_JAVASCRIPT, PDF_JS, and PDF_UNESCAPE. The embedded JavaScript file, 'javascript_obj0014_000.js', is likely responsible for executing the malicious payload. The ClamAV detection 'Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject' further confirms the malicious nature of the file. The obfuscation suggests an attempt to evade detection and deliver a secondary payload.

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
