T1059.001 PowerShell
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment
T1204.002 Malicious File
The file is a PDF containing embedded JavaScript, which is a common technique for exploiting vulnerabilities and delivering malware. The presence of `eval()` calls and ASCII85Decode filters, along with ClamAV detection as 'Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7217223-0', strongly indicates a malicious dropper. The embedded JavaScript is likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload, although the exact mechanism is obfuscated.
Heuristics 7
-
ClamAV: Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7217223-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTIONClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7217223-0
-
eval() call high PDF_EVALeval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution (matched inside decoded stream)
-
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.
-
ASCII85Decode filter (with exploit indicators) low PDF_FILTER_85ASCII85 encoding filter present alongside exploit delivery indicators — uncommon outside of obfuscation
-
Optional Content Group with action trigger low PDF_OPTIONAL_CONTENTOptional Content Group (layer) co-occurs with an action trigger — content can be selectively hidden from viewers or scanners while the action still fires on open
-
Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGEOne 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.
