MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file was flagged by a machine learning classifier and ClamAV as malicious, specifically identified as 'Pdf.Dropper.Agent-1506748'. It contains embedded JavaScript, which is a common technique for executing malicious code within PDF documents. The presence of JavaScript actions and embedded JS streams strongly suggests that the script is intended to download and execute a second-stage payload. The document body is heavily obfuscated and unreadable, providing no direct clues about the lure, but the technical indicators point to a dropper functionality.

Heuristics 6

  • ClamAV: Pdf.Dropper.Agent-1506748 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Dropper.Agent-1506748
  • 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.
  • XFA form low PDF_XFA
    PDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
  • Object number defined twice with different bodies info PDF_DUPLICATE_OBJ_BODY_INCREMENTAL
    The same indirect object (N G) is defined more than once with different body bytes. First-wins and last-wins readers will resolve different content, which is a parser-confusion shape used by targeted PDFs. Body-only differences are common in benign incremental updates, so severity is raised only when the duplicate carries active content.
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
