MITRE ATT&CK
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_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject
  • Secondary embedded PDF body has suspicious static findings high POLYGLOT_CHILD_PDF_STATIC_TRIAGE
    A 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_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.
  • External URI info PDF_URI
    PDF contains an external URL action
  • 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.
