MITRE ATT&CK
T1204.002 Malicious File: Malicious File

The file is a PDF identified as malicious by ClamAV and an ML classifier. It contains embedded JavaScript, which is commonly used in malicious PDFs to download and execute further stages. The presence of JavaScript actions and embedded JS streams, along with the 'Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7216759-0' ClamAV detection, strongly suggests a dropper functionality. The extracted artifact 'javascript_obj0009_000.js' is likely the component responsible for this payload delivery.

Heuristics 5

    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7216759-0
  • 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.
  • String.fromCharCode low PDF_FROMCHARCODE
    String.fromCharCode found — used to construct payload strings dynamically. Common in benign JavaScript libraries for codepoint manipulation, so this alone is informational; weaponised use is also caught by the dedicated fromCharCode-stage and exploit-shape rules. (matched inside decoded stream)
  • 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.
