MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 JavaScript

The PDF file was flagged by multiple heuristics, including PDF_JAVASCRIPT, PDF_JS, and PDF_EVAL, indicating the presence and execution of JavaScript code. The ML classifier and ClamAV detection strongly suggest malicious intent, specifically identifying it as a dropper. The embedded JavaScript, particularly the eval() call, is likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload. The truncated document body prevents a more specific analysis of the lure.

    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Dropper.Agent-1551401
  • 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.
  • 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.
