T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

This PDF file was flagged as malicious by ClamAV (Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36189) and a machine learning classifier. It contains embedded JavaScript streams that utilize unescape() functions and ASCIIHexDecode filters, indicating obfuscation and potential exploit activity. The presence of these elements suggests the document is designed to exploit a vulnerability and execute arbitrary code, likely to download further malicious content from external URLs.

Heuristics 8

ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36189 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36189
unescape() call high PDF_UNESCAPE

unescape() found — often used to decode shellcode in PDF JS exploits (matched inside decoded stream)
ASCIIHexDecode filter (with exploit indicators) medium PDF_FILTER_HEX

Hex-encoding filter present alongside exploit delivery indicators — often used to hide payload or shellcode bytes
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.
XFA form low PDF_XFA

PDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
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.
Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL

One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
