MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell 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' heuristic identifies it as 'Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36086', suggesting it exploits a known PDF vulnerability. The embedded JavaScript, although not directly visible in the provided output, is the likely mechanism for delivering a malicious payload, as suggested by the 'Suspicious extracted artifact' heuristic pointing to a JavaScript file. The document body is unreadable, preventing a more specific analysis of the lure.

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36086 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36086
  • 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.
  • String.fromCharCode low PDF_FROMCHARCODE
    String.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)
  • 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.

Extracted artifacts 1
