MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript and triggers multiple critical heuristics related to known PDF exploits (CVE-2009-4324, CVE-2009-0927, CVE-2007-5659, CVE-2008-2992). These exploits leverage PDF metadata fields to construct and execute JavaScript. The presence of these exploit indicators and the ClamAV detection strongly suggest malicious intent, likely to download and execute a secondary payload.

Heuristics 8
