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

The file is a PDF containing embedded JavaScript with an eval() call, indicating an attempt to execute arbitrary code. ClamAV detected this as Pdf.Exploit.Agent-22333. The embedded JavaScript is likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload, though its exact functionality is obfuscated. The presence of URLs related to 'pdf-repair.com' suggests a lure or a command-and-control channel.

Heuristics 8

  • ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-22333 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-22333
  • eval() call high PDF_EVAL
    eval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution (matched inside decoded stream)
  • 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.
  • Embedded file low PDF_EMBEDDED
    PDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload
  • XFA form low PDF_XFA
    PDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
  • Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
    One 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.
  • 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.
