MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 JavaScript/JScript T1204.002 Malicious Link

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript that is heavily obfuscated and designed to exploit several known Adobe Reader vulnerabilities. The heuristics indicate that the script is decoded by splitting a numeric array, mapping indices through a character table, and then evaluating the result, which is a common technique for delivering exploits. This process likely leads to the execution of a second-stage payload, as indicated by the ClamAV detection of Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36808.

Heuristics 8
