MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 JavaScript T1204.002 Malicious Link or Trusted Form

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript streams and triggers JavaScript actions, indicating an attempt to exploit vulnerabilities. The ClamAV detection 'Pdf.Exploit.Agent-13584' strongly suggests malicious intent. The embedded JavaScript is likely responsible for executing a malicious payload, although its exact function cannot be determined due to obfuscation.

Heuristics 6

  • ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-13584 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-13584
  • ASCIIHexDecode filter (with exploit indicators) medium PDF_FILTER_HEX
    Hex-encoding filter present alongside exploit delivery indicators — often used to hide payload or shellcode bytes
  • 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.
  • ASCII85Decode filter (with exploit indicators) low PDF_FILTER_85
    ASCII85 encoding filter present alongside exploit delivery indicators — uncommon outside of obfuscation
  • Optional Content Group with action trigger low PDF_OPTIONAL_CONTENT
    Optional Content Group (layer) co-occurs with an action trigger — content can be selectively hidden from viewers or scanners while the action still fires on open
