MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 JavaScript/JScript T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, as indicated by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT heuristic. ClamAV detection as 'Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35606' strongly suggests exploitation of a known PDF vulnerability. The embedded JavaScript is likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload, contributing to the malicious nature of the file.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35606 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35606
  • 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.
  • PDF differential parser failed info PDF_DIFFERENTIAL_PARSE_FAILED
    The cross-check parser (pdfminer.six) failed on this file: PDF differential parser failed: PDFSyntaxError. Static heuristics still ran and any of their findings above are valid; only the differential cross-check signal is missing.
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
