MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF file contains obfuscated JavaScript, as indicated by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. ClamAV also flagged it with Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject, confirming its malicious nature. The embedded JavaScript is likely responsible for executing the malicious payload, although its exact function cannot be determined due to obfuscation. The differential parser failure suggests further attempts to hide malicious content.

    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject
  • 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.
  • PDF differential parser failed info PDF_DIFFERENTIAL_PARSE_FAILED
