MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 JavaScript/JScript
T1553.005 Mark-of-the-Web Bypass
The file is a PDF containing embedded JavaScript, which is a common technique for delivering exploits. Static analysis detected multiple JavaScript-related heuristics and a critical finding indicating a secondary embedded PDF with suspicious static findings. The ClamAV detection 'Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject' further supports its malicious nature. The embedded PDF artifact is the primary IOC.
Heuristics 5
-
Secondary embedded PDF body has suspicious static findings critical POLYGLOT_CHILD_PDF_STATIC_TRIAGEA valid PDF body was found at a nonzero offset inside another container and its carved contents matched PDF exploit or lure heuristics. This catches polyglots where the top-level magic routes to ZIP/OLE while a PDF reader or downstream parser opens the hidden PDF payload.

ClamAV: Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject critical CLAMAV_DETECTIONClamAV detected this file as malware: Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject
-
ClamAV detection on extracted artifact critical EXTRACTED_FILE_CLAMAVClamAV 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.
-
JavaScript action low PDF_JAVASCRIPTPDF contains a /JavaScript action. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
-
Embedded JS stream low PDF_JSPDF references a /JS stream. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
