MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.007 JavaScript T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF document contains embedded JavaScript, identified by multiple heuristics including 'PDF_JAVASCRIPT' and 'PDF_JS'. The JavaScript code appears to be an eval stager, designed to decode and execute a payload. The script reconstructs a string which is then evaluated, likely to download and run a secondary malicious file. This is further supported by the critical ClamAV detection of 'Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-94'.

  • PDF metadata JavaScript eval stager high PDF_METADATA_EVAL_STAGER
    PDF JavaScript reads document metadata fields such as title, subject, or producer, decodes character data with parseInt/String.fromCharCode style helpers, and evals the recovered stage. This is a high-signal exploit-kit staging pattern.
  • 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
