MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The critical ClamAV heuristic 'Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-94' and the 'PDF_METADATA_EVAL_STAGER' heuristic indicate that this PDF contains embedded JavaScript designed to exploit a vulnerability. The embedded JavaScript stream, though not fully detailed, is the likely mechanism for executing malicious code, potentially downloading and running a second-stage payload. The PDF metadata also contains JavaScript, further supporting the exploit vector.

Heuristics 4
