MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF file contains embedded and obfuscated JavaScript, as indicated by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. ClamAV also flagged the file as malicious due to obfuscated objects. The presence of JavaScript suggests an attempt to execute malicious code, likely to download and run a secondary payload. The specific obfuscation technique used by ClamAV (Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject) points to a common method for evading static analysis.

    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
