MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.007 JavaScript T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

This PDF file contains obfuscated JavaScript that utilizes eval() and String.fromCharCode() to execute malicious code. The JavaScript is designed to exploit a known PDF vulnerability, likely leading to arbitrary code execution. The specific payload and ultimate goal are obscured by the obfuscation, preventing a more precise family attribution.

Heuristics 7

PDF JavaScript exploit cluster critical PDF_JS_EXPLOIT_CLUSTER

PDF combines an executable JavaScript/action surface with exploit staging indicators such as eval/unescape/fromCharCode, XFA script content, or a related CVE pattern. Benign form JavaScript remains low-severity, but this correlated cluster is high-confidence malicious behavior.
ClamAV: Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

ClamAV detected this file as malware: Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject
eval() call high PDF_EVAL

eval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution (matched inside decoded stream)
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.
