MITRE ATT&CK
T1204 Malicious File

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, which is a common technique for exploiting vulnerabilities in PDF readers. The ClamAV signature 'Pdf.Exploit.Pdfka-9' strongly suggests the presence of an exploit. The embedded JavaScript is likely responsible for delivering a secondary payload or initiating malicious actions.

Heuristics 3

  • ClamAV detection on extracted artifact critical EXTRACTED_FILE_CLAMAV
    ClamAV flagged at least one file extracted from inside this sample. Even when the wrapping document carries no AV detection of its own, a hit on the carved artifact is a strong indicator the sample is a delivery vehicle.
  • 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.
