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

This PDF was flagged by a machine learning classifier and ClamAV as malicious, specifically identified as Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7212448-0. Static analysis revealed embedded JavaScript, indicated by PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics, and the use of String.fromCharCode, suggesting obfuscation. An extracted JavaScript file, javascript_obj0007_000.js, was also identified as a suspicious artifact. The presence of these elements strongly indicates the PDF's purpose is to execute malicious JavaScript, likely to download and execute a second-stage payload.

    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7212448-0
  • 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.
  • 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.
