T1027 Obfuscated Files or Information
T1204.002 Malicious File
This PDF sample was flagged as malicious by ClamAV (Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36082) and a machine learning classifier. Static analysis revealed embedded JavaScript streams containing obfuscated code, including calls to eval(), unescape(), and String.fromCharCode(). These techniques are commonly used to hide malicious actions, such as downloading and executing further payloads. The primary intent appears to be the execution of this obfuscated JavaScript.

Heuristics 7
-
ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36082 critical CLAMAV_DETECTIONClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36082
-
eval() call high PDF_EVALeval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution (matched inside decoded stream)
-
unescape() call high PDF_UNESCAPEunescape() found — often used to decode shellcode in PDF JS exploits (matched inside decoded stream)
-
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)
-
Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGEOne 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.
