MITRE ATT&CK
T1204.002 Malicious File: Malicious File

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. The ClamAV detection of 'Pdf.Dropper.Agent-1828946' strongly suggests malicious intent. The embedded JavaScript is likely responsible for downloading and executing a secondary payload, a common technique for PDF-based malware delivery. The PDF_IMAGE_ONLY_LURE heuristic indicates the document may be designed to trick the user into interacting with it, possibly by displaying an image that prompts further action.

  • ClamAV: Pdf.Dropper.Agent-1828946 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Dropper.Agent-1828946
  • 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.
  • PDF paints image(s) but contains no text operators info PDF_IMAGE_ONLY_LURE
    PDF has 1 image XObject(s) and the content stream contains no text-emitting operators (BT/ET, Tj, TJ, ', ") in either raw bytes or decompressed streams — this is the screenshot-as-PDF pattern used to bypass text-based scanners and to deliver instructions purely through rendered pixels. It is informational unless paired with invisible links or risky URI context.
