T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript with eval() and unescape() calls, indicating obfuscated code execution. The ClamAV detection 'Pdf.Exploit.Agent-3853' and the presence of a suspicious JavaScript file suggest exploitation of a PDF vulnerability. The external URI 'http://www.intljobconnect.com/' is likely used to download a secondary payload. The document body is heavily obfuscated and does not provide clear user-facing content.

Heuristics 7

  • ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-3853 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-3853
  • eval() call high PDF_EVAL
    eval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution (matched inside decoded stream)
  • unescape() call high PDF_UNESCAPE
    unescape() found — often used to decode shellcode in PDF JS exploits (matched inside decoded stream)
  • Suspicious extracted artifact medium EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
    One 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.
  • 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 low PDF_URI
    PDF contains an external URL action
