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

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript with multiple obfuscation indicators and a high-confidence `eval()` call. This JavaScript is likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload, as suggested by the ClamAV detection name 'Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7284881-0'. The presence of PDF-specific JavaScript heuristics further supports this attack pattern.

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7284881-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7284881-0
  • 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.
  • 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.
