MITRE ATT&CK
T1027 Obfuscated Files or Information

The PDF file contains embedded and obfuscated JavaScript, indicated by multiple heuristic firings including PDF_JAVASCRIPT, PDF_JS, PDF_EVAL, and PDF_FROMCHARCODE. ClamAV also flagged it as Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject. The embedded JavaScript file, javascript_obj0009_000.js, likely contains the malicious payload, potentially downloading and executing further stages.

Heuristics 6

  • ClamAV: Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject
  • 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. (matched inside decoded stream)
  • 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.
