MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 Command and Scripting Interpreter: PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File: Exploitation by User Interaction

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. The critical ClamAV detection 'Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-94' strongly suggests exploitation. The embedded JavaScript stream, identified as 'javascript_obj0076_000.js', likely contains obfuscated code utilizing `eval()` and `String.fromCharCode()` to execute malicious actions, such as downloading a second-stage payload. The presence of script obfuscation indicators further supports this. The extracted file name 'javascript_obj0076_000.js' is included as an IOC.

Heuristics 6

ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-94 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-94
eval() call high PDF_EVAL

eval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution (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.
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.
Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
