T1059.001 PowerShell
T1204.002 Malicious File
The sample is a PDF file that contains embedded JavaScript, as indicated by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. A critical ClamAV heuristic, Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject, further suggests malicious intent. The embedded JavaScript is likely responsible for downloading and executing a secondary payload. While several URLs were extracted, they are all confirmed as benign, suggesting the malicious payload is hosted elsewhere or dynamically generated.
Heuristics 6
-
ClamAV: Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject critical CLAMAV_DETECTIONClamAV detected this file as malware: Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject
-
Secondary embedded PDF body has suspicious static findings high POLYGLOT_CHILD_PDF_STATIC_TRIAGEA valid PDF body was found at a nonzero offset inside another container and its carved contents matched PDF exploit or lure heuristics. This catches polyglots where the top-level magic routes to ZIP/OLE while a PDF reader or downstream parser opens the hidden PDF payload.
-
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.
-
External URI info PDF_URIPDF contains an external URL action
-
Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URLOne 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.URL http://search.state.gov/search?oe=utf8&ie=utf8&q=&filter=0&entqr=3&ud=1&sort=date:D:L:d1&output=xml_no_dtd&lr=lang_en&client=americagov&proxystylesheet=americagov_canned&getfields=*&site=americagov&partialfields=DC_memberOf:oppor&sort=date:D:S:d1
