MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file was flagged by a machine learning classifier with high confidence as malicious. Static analysis revealed embedded JavaScript and an embedded binary file, indicating a likely attempt to deliver a secondary payload. The presence of these embedded objects strongly suggests an attack pattern focused on exploiting the PDF viewer or executing the embedded content.

Heuristics 5

Malformed active-content stream length medium PDF_MALFORMED_EXPLOIT_STREAM_LENGTH

A PDF stream that carries active/exploit-looking content has a declared /Length that does not match the recovered stream body. Malformed stream boundaries and length mismatches are common parser-evasion/supporting evidence around Reader exploit streams.
JavaScript action low 1 related finding 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.
Embedded file low PDF_EMBEDDED

PDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload
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.

Extracted artifacts 2

Files carved from inside the sample during analysis.

Filename	Kind	Source	Size
`embedded_file_obj0012.bin`	pdf-embedded-file	PDF EmbeddedFile object 12 at offset 0x428	149220 bytes

Detection ClamAV: No threats found Obfuscation or payload: likely 323 of 323 identifiers look randomly generated (e.g. 'JTJT5om8pLW7YVJCr1JTJT5om8pLW7YVJCr2JTJT') — consistent with name-mangling obfuscation. Carved artifact contains 145 long base64-like blob(s).
