T1059.001 JavaScript
T1204.002 Malicious JavaScript
The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by multiple heuristic firings including PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS. The ML classifier and ClamAV detection strongly suggest malicious intent, specifically targeting PDF vulnerabilities. The presence of ASCIIHexDecode and ASCII85Decode filters further supports the exploitation of PDF parsing mechanisms. No specific document body content was extractable, but the technical indicators point to a typical PDF exploit delivery mechanism.

ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36178 critical CLAMAV_DETECTIONClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36178
-
ASCIIHexDecode filter (with exploit indicators) medium PDF_FILTER_HEXHex-encoding filter present alongside exploit delivery indicators — often used to hide payload or shellcode bytes
-
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.
-
String.fromCharCode low PDF_FROMCHARCODEString.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)
-
ASCII85Decode filter (with exploit indicators) low PDF_FILTER_85ASCII85 encoding filter present alongside exploit delivery indicators — uncommon outside of obfuscation
