MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. The CLAMAV_DETECTION heuristic flags it as Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject, suggesting obfuscation techniques are used to hide malicious content. A secondary embedded PDF was also found with suspicious static findings. The presence of JavaScript strongly suggests an intent to execute malicious code, likely to download and run additional malware.

Heuristics 4

  • 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.
