MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript and a RichMedia (Flash) object, indicating an attempt to exploit vulnerabilities. The ClamAV detection 'Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35955' and the presence of an extracted binary artifact further confirm malicious intent. The embedded JavaScript likely facilitates the download and execution of a secondary payload, as suggested by the heuristic firings and the nature of PDF exploits.

Heuristics 7

ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35955 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35955
ClamAV detection on extracted artifact critical EXTRACTED_FILE_CLAMAV

ClamAV flagged at least one file extracted from inside this sample. Even when the wrapping document carries no AV detection of its own, a hit on the carved artifact is a strong indicator the sample is a delivery vehicle.
RichMedia (Flash) high PDF_RICHMEDIA

PDF contains /RichMedia (Adobe Flash) which is a historic exploit vector
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.
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.
