MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.007 JavaScript T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

This PDF file contains embedded JavaScript that is heavily obfuscated and utilizes eval() calls, strongly indicating malicious intent. The ClamAV detection of 'Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35587' and the ML classifier's high confidence further support this assessment. The embedded JavaScript is designed to execute, likely downloading and running a secondary payload, which is a common technique for exploiting PDF vulnerabilities.

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: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35587 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35587
ClamAV detection on extracted artifact critical EXTRACTED_FILE_CLAMAV

ClamAV flagged at least one file extracted from inside this sample. Even when the wrapping document carries no AV detection of its own, a hit on the carved artifact is a strong indicator the sample is a delivery vehicle.
eval() call high PDF_EVAL

eval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution
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.
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.

Extracted artifacts 2
