MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 JavaScript/JScript

The PDF file was flagged by a machine learning classifier and ClamAV as malicious, specifically as Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-94. Static analysis revealed embedded JavaScript with obfuscated code, including calls to eval() and String.fromCharCode(), which are commonly used to download and execute further malicious content. No specific family could be identified, but the techniques suggest a downloader or dropper.

Heuristics 6

ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-94 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-94
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.
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.
