MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 JavaScript/JScript T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1140 Deobfuscate/Decode Files or Information

The PDF file contains embedded and obfuscated JavaScript, as indicated by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT, PDF_JS, and PDF_UNESCAPE heuristics. ClamAV also flagged it as Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject. The embedded JavaScript file, 'javascript_obj0006_000.js', is highly suspicious and likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload. The obfuscation suggests an attempt to evade detection.

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject
  • unescape() call high PDF_UNESCAPE
    unescape() found — often used to decode shellcode in PDF JS exploits (matched inside decoded stream)
  • 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.
  • Suspicious extracted artifact info 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.
