MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. ClamAV detections (Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7273742-0 and Win.Trojan.Agent-36166) confirm its malicious nature. The JavaScript is likely responsible for downloading and executing a secondary payload, a common technique for dropper malware. The extracted file name 'javascript_obj0007_000.js' further supports this. The document body is unreadable, but the heuristics and detections strongly suggest a dropper functionality.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7273742-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7273742-0
  • 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.
  • 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.
