MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 JavaScript/JScript

The PDF file contains obfuscated JavaScript, indicated by multiple heuristic firings including 'PDF_JAVASCRIPT', 'PDF_JS', and 'PDF_FROMCHARCODE'. ClamAV also flagged it as 'Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject'. The embedded JavaScript file, 'javascript_obj0038_000.js', is likely responsible for executing the malicious payload. Due to the obfuscation, the exact nature of the payload could not be determined, leading to a slightly reduced confidence score.

Heuristics 5

  • 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.
  • 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.

Extracted artifacts 1
