MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. The presence of a PDF_EVAL heuristic firing suggests the JavaScript is obfuscated and likely malicious. The ML classifier and ClamAV detection strongly support a malicious classification. The embedded JavaScript file, javascript_obj0076_000.js, is the primary artifact, and its execution is the likely vector for delivering a secondary payload, as suggested by the ClamAV detection name 'Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-94'.

Heuristics 6

ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-94 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-94
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.
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.
