MITRE ATT&CK
T1027 Obfuscated Files or Information T1204.002 Malicious File: Malicious File

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript streams, with critical heuristics indicating the use of eval() and unescape() for obfuscation. The ClamAV detection 'Pdf.Exploit.Agent-11815' strongly suggests a known PDF exploit. The embedded JavaScript is likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload, as indicated by the obfuscation techniques and the presence of multiple large JS files. The authoring application 'tvEeSFCPx' and creation date '2009-05-01' are also noted.

Heuristics 6

  • ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-11815 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-11815
  • eval() call high PDF_EVAL
    eval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution
  • unescape() call high PDF_UNESCAPE
    unescape() found — often used to decode shellcode in PDF JS exploits
  • 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.
