T1059.001 PowerShell
T1204.002 Malicious File
The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by multiple heuristic firings and the presence of an extracted JavaScript file. The ClamAV detection 'Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35572' strongly suggests exploitation of a known PDF vulnerability. The embedded JavaScript is likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload, though its exact function is obscured by obfuscation.
Heuristics 5
-
ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35572 critical CLAMAV_DETECTIONClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35572
-
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.
-
String.fromCharCode low PDF_FROMCHARCODEString.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.
-
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.
