MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1059.007 JavaScript T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF contains embedded JavaScript, which utilizes eval() and unescape() functions, indicating obfuscation and execution of malicious code. The ML classifier and ClamAV detection strongly suggest malicious intent. The JavaScript is likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload, as suggested by the presence of multiple JavaScript streams and the 'Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35930' ClamAV signature.

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 1.0000

Heuristics 6

  • ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35930 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35930
  • eval() call high PDF_EVAL
    eval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution (matched inside decoded stream)
  • unescape() call high PDF_UNESCAPE
    unescape() found — often used to decode shellcode in PDF JS exploits (matched inside decoded stream)
  • JavaScript action low 1 related finding 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.
