MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 JavaScript/JScript T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious File

This PDF file was flagged by ClamAV as Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36082, indicating it contains a known exploit. Static analysis revealed embedded JavaScript with high-confidence indicators of malicious activity, including eval(), unescape(), and String.fromCharCode() calls. These functions are commonly used to deobfuscate and execute malicious code. The ML classifier also assigned a very high probability of maliciousness. The primary attack pattern involves exploiting PDF vulnerabilities to run embedded JavaScript, which is likely designed to download and execute a second-stage payload.

Heuristics 7

ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36082 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36082
eval() call high PDF_EVAL

eval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution (matched inside decoded stream)
unescape() call high PDF_UNESCAPE

unescape() found — often used to decode shellcode in PDF JS exploits (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.
