MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell
The PDF file contains obfuscated JavaScript, indicated by the `PDF_JAVASCRIPT`, `PDF_JS`, `PDF_EVAL`, and `PDF_UNESCAPE` heuristics. ClamAV also flagged it as `Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject`. The embedded JavaScript file, `javascript_obj0116_000.js`, is likely responsible for executing malicious code, potentially downloading a second-stage payload. The exact behavior of the script is difficult to ascertain due to obfuscation, leading to a slightly reduced confidence.
Heuristics 7
-
ClamAV: Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject critical CLAMAV_DETECTIONClamAV detected this file as malware: Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject
-
eval() call high PDF_EVALeval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution
-
unescape() call high PDF_UNESCAPEunescape() found — often used to decode shellcode in PDF JS exploits (matched inside decoded stream)
-
JavaScript action low PDF_JAVASCRIPTPDF contains a /JavaScript action. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
-
Embedded JS stream low PDF_JSPDF references a /JS stream. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
-
PDF differential parser failed info PDF_DIFFERENTIAL_PARSE_FAILEDThe cross-check parser (pdfminer.six) failed on this file: PDF differential parser failed: PSSyntaxError. Static heuristics still ran and any of their findings above are valid; only the differential cross-check signal is missing.
-
Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGEOne 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.
