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

The file is a PDF containing embedded JavaScript, as indicated by multiple heuristic firings including PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS. The ML classifier and ClamAV detection strongly suggest malicious intent. The embedded JavaScript file, 'javascript_obj0007_000.js', is the primary artifact, and its presence along with the PDF structure points to a dropper mechanism designed to download and execute further malicious content.

  • 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.
  • String.fromCharCode low PDF_FROMCHARCODE
    String.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.
  • 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.
