MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. The PDF_LAUNCH and PDF_EVAL firings, along with the critical ClamAV detection (Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35541), strongly suggest the exploitation of a PDF vulnerability to execute arbitrary code. The embedded JavaScript stream, though obfuscated, likely facilitates the download and execution of a second-stage payload, a common technique for malware delivery.

Heuristics 7

ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35541 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35541
Launch action high PDF_LAUNCH

PDF contains a /Launch action with an unresolved or extension-less target — treat as potentially dangerous
eval() call high PDF_EVAL

eval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution (matched inside decoded stream)
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.
