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

The PDF contains obfuscated JavaScript, indicated by multiple heuristic firings including 'PDF_OBFUSCATED_NAME_OBJECT' and 'PDF_JAVASCRIPT'. The embedded JavaScript stream, 'javascript_obj0011_000.js', is likely responsible for executing the malicious payload. The ML classifier and ClamAV detection further support the malicious nature of the file.

Heuristics 4

  • Hex-obfuscated scripting name object critical PDF_OBFUSCATED_NAME_OBJECT
    A PDF name object that drives script execution (/JavaScript or /JS) is written with #XX hex escapes to hide it from string-based scanners — e.g. /J#61v#61S#63r#69p#74 decoding to /JavaScript. Legitimate PDF producers always write these names literally; hex-encoding an executable name is a deliberate evasion used by exploit-kit and dropper PDFs.
  • ClamAV: Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject
  • 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.
