MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell
The PDF contains embedded JavaScript, including calls to eval() and String.fromCharCode, which are indicative of obfuscation and dynamic code execution. ClamAV detected this file as Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7312929-0, suggesting it acts as a dropper for other malware. The embedded JavaScript streams likely download and execute a second-stage payload, a common technique for malware distribution.
Heuristics 6
-
ClamAV: Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7312929-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTIONClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7312929-0
-
eval() call high PDF_EVALeval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution (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.
