MITRE ATT&CK
T1204.002 Malicious File: Malicious File

The PDF contains embedded JavaScript, with a critical heuristic firing for eval() calls, indicating obfuscated code execution. The embedded artifact 'javascript_obj0013_001.js' is likely responsible for downloading and executing a secondary payload, as suggested by the ClamAV detection 'Pdf.Dropper.Agent-1828860'. The presence of JavaScript actions and streams within the PDF structure further supports its role as a dropper.

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Pdf.Dropper.Agent-1828860 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Dropper.Agent-1828860
  • 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.
