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

The file is a PDF document identified by ClamAV as 'Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7131729-0'. Static analysis detected embedded JavaScript, which is often used to download and execute further malicious content. The document body is heavily obfuscated and does not provide clear user-facing text. The embedded JavaScript is the primary indicator of malicious intent, likely serving as a dropper for additional malware. Confidence is moderate due to the lack of clear script functionality and the heavily obfuscated document body.

Heuristics 6

  • ClamAV: Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7131729-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7131729-0
  • 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.
  • XFA form low PDF_XFA
    PDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
  • PDF differential parser failed info PDF_DIFFERENTIAL_PARSE_FAILED
    The cross-check parser (pdfminer.six) failed on this file: PDF differential parser failed: PSEOF. Static heuristics still ran and any of their findings above are valid; only the differential cross-check signal is missing.
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
