MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 JavaScript/JScript T1204.002 Malicious File

The sample is a PDF file that contains embedded JavaScript, as indicated by multiple heuristic firings including PDF_JAVASCRIPT, PDF_JS, and PDF_EVAL. The critical ClamAV detection (Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36086) and the presence of a large comment-padded JavaScript eval stager strongly suggest this is an exploit document. The embedded JavaScript, named 'javascript_obj0006_000.js', is likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload. The document body was unreadable, but the technical indicators are sufficient for a high-confidence assessment.

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.
