MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 JavaScript/JScript
T1204.002 Malicious File
The file is a PDF containing embedded JavaScript, indicated by multiple heuristic firings including PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS. The ClamAV detection 'Pdf.Exploit.Pdfka-32' strongly suggests a known PDF exploit. The embedded JavaScript stream, named 'javascript_obj0009_000.js', is likely responsible for executing the exploit. The primary function of this script appears to be downloading and executing a second-stage payload, as is common with this type of attack.
Heuristics 5
-
ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Pdfka-32 critical CLAMAV_DETECTIONClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Pdfka-32
-
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. (matched inside decoded stream)
-
