MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.007 Scripting: JavaScript T1204.002 Malicious File: Malicious JavaScript

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by multiple heuristic firings including PDF_JAVASCRIPT, PDF_JS, PDF_FROMCHARCODE, and PDF_EVAL. The critical ClamAV detection (Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-94) strongly suggests exploitation. The embedded JavaScript, named 'javascript_obj0076_000.js', is likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload, a common technique for PDF-based malware delivery. The document body is minimal and does not provide further context on the lure.

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.
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.
