MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell
The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. The presence of an eval() call within the JavaScript (PDF_EVAL) strongly suggests code obfuscation and execution. ClamAV detection as 'Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7287038-0' further confirms its malicious nature. The primary function of the embedded script appears to be downloading and executing a secondary payload, a common technique for dropper malware.
Heuristics 6
-
ClamAV: Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7287038-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTIONClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7287038-0
-
eval() call high PDF_EVALeval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution (matched inside decoded stream)
-
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.
-
Optional Content Group with action trigger low PDF_OPTIONAL_CONTENTOptional Content Group (layer) co-occurs with an action trigger — content can be selectively hidden from viewers or scanners while the action still fires on open
-
