MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by multiple heuristic firings including 'PDF_JAVASCRIPT', 'PDF_JS', and 'PDF_EVAL'. The 'PDF_JS_LARGE_COMMENT_PADDED_EVAL' heuristic specifically points to a stager designed to execute code. ClamAV detection as 'Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36086' further confirms its malicious nature. The presence of obfuscated JavaScript streams suggests an attempt to conceal the execution of a malicious payload, likely a downloader.

Heuristics 7

ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36086 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36086
eval() call high PDF_EVAL

eval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution (matched inside decoded stream)
Large comment-padded JavaScript eval stager high PDF_JS_LARGE_COMMENT_PADDED_EVAL

PDF JavaScript contains a very large stream padded with long random-looking block comments around String.fromCharCode and eval. This is an exploit-kit obfuscation shape used to bury a decoder and recovered stage inside noise, not normal PDF form automation.
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.
String.fromCharCode low PDF_FROMCHARCODE

String.fromCharCode found — used to construct payload strings dynamically. Common in benign JavaScript libraries for codepoint manipulation, so this alone is informational; weaponised use is also caught by the dedicated fromCharCode-stage and exploit-shape rules. (matched inside decoded stream)
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.
