MITRE ATT&CK
T1204.002 Malicious File: Malicious File

The PDF document contains embedded JavaScript, identified by the 'PDF_JAVASCRIPT' and 'PDF_JS' heuristics. The 'PDF_ANNOT_SUBJECT_MARKER_EVAL_STAGER' heuristic indicates that the annotation subject is used to percent-decode and evaluate JavaScript, likely to launch a second-stage payload. ClamAV also detected this file as 'Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36065', confirming its malicious nature.

Heuristics 4

  • Annotation subject percent-decoding eval stager critical PDF_ANNOT_SUBJECT_MARKER_EVAL_STAGER
    OpenAction JavaScript forces annotation enumeration, reads an annotation /Subject payload with getAnnots(), rewrites marker bytes into percent escapes, decodes it with unescape(), and dispatches it through eval. This is a high-confidence exploit-kit staging pattern. It is intentionally not mapped to CVE-2009-1492 unless getAnnots() itself carries the crafted integer or long argument shape for that vulnerability.
  • ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36065 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36065
  • 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.
