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

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript streams, with high-confidence heuristics indicating the use of eval() and ML classifiers flagging it as malicious. ClamAV detection as 'Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35587' further confirms malicious intent. The embedded JavaScript likely attempts to download and execute a second-stage payload, as suggested by the 'tp.s' string which appears to be a partially reconstructed URL or command. The ML_NYX_PDF_MALICIOUS score of 0.999993 indicates a very high probability of maliciousness.

Heuristics 6

  • ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35587 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35587
  • ClamAV detection on extracted artifact critical EXTRACTED_FILE_CLAMAV
    ClamAV flagged at least one file extracted from inside this sample. Even when the wrapping document carries no AV detection of its own, a hit on the carved artifact is a strong indicator the sample is a delivery vehicle.
  • eval() call high PDF_EVAL
    eval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution
  • 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.
  • 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.

Extracted artifacts 2
