MITRE ATT&CK
T1204 Malicious Link T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF was flagged by multiple high-severity heuristics, including ML classification and ClamAV detection, indicating it is malicious. The presence of embedded JavaScript and RichMedia (Flash) suggests an attempt to exploit vulnerabilities. The 'POLYGLOT_CHILD_PDF_STATIC_TRIAGE' finding indicates a secondary embedded PDF with suspicious findings, likely part of a multi-stage attack. The ClamAV detection name 'Pdf.Exploit.Agent-30340' further supports its malicious nature.

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 0.9962

Heuristics 9

  • Secondary embedded PDF body has suspicious static findings critical POLYGLOT_CHILD_PDF_STATIC_TRIAGE
    A valid PDF body was found at a nonzero offset inside another container and its carved contents matched PDF exploit or lure heuristics. This catches polyglots where the top-level magic routes to ZIP/OLE while a PDF reader or downstream parser opens the hidden PDF payload.
  • ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-30340 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-30340
  • RichMedia (Flash) high PDF_RICHMEDIA
    PDF contains /RichMedia (Adobe Flash) which is a historic exploit vector (matched inside decoded stream)
  • Embedded file low PDF_EMBEDDED
    PDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload
  • 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. (matched inside decoded stream)
  • 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. (matched inside decoded stream)
  • XFA form low PDF_XFA
    PDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic (matched inside decoded stream)
  • Object number defined twice with different bodies info PDF_DUPLICATE_OBJ_BODY_INCREMENTAL
    The same indirect object (N G) is defined more than once with different body bytes. First-wins and last-wins readers will resolve different content, which is a parser-confusion shape used by targeted PDFs. Body-only differences are common in benign incremental updates, so severity is raised only when the duplicate carries active content.
  • 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.
