MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1059.007 JavaScript

The PDF contains embedded JavaScript, with a critical heuristic firing for 'eval()' usage, indicating obfuscated code execution. The embedded JavaScript attempts to reconstruct strings and execute them, likely to download and run a second-stage payload. The ClamAV detection 'Win.Exploit.JS-58' further supports the malicious nature of the script. No specific family could be identified due to the obfuscation.

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Win.Exploit.JS-58 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Exploit.JS-58
  • eval() call high PDF_EVAL
    eval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution
  • 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.
  • 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.
