MITRE ATT&CK
T1204.002 Malicious File T1059.007 JavaScript

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript and a RichMedia (Flash) object, as indicated by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT, PDF_JS, and PDF_RICHMEDIA heuristics. ClamAV detection confirms this is a malicious PDF exploiting a known vulnerability (Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35955). The embedded JavaScript likely loads and executes the embedded SWF file, which is the primary payload.

Heuristics 7

  • ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35955 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35955
  • ClamAV detection on extracted artifact critical EXTRACTED_FILE_CLAMAV
    ClamAV flagged at least one file extracted from inside this sample. Even when the wrapping document carries no AV detection of its own, a hit on the carved artifact is a strong indicator the sample is a delivery vehicle.
  • RichMedia (Flash) high PDF_RICHMEDIA
    PDF contains /RichMedia (Adobe Flash) which is a historic exploit vector
  • 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.
  • Embedded file low PDF_EMBEDDED
    PDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload
  • 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 2
