MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious File

This PDF file exhibits malicious characteristics, including embedded JavaScript and a critical finding of an embedded PE executable payload. The presence of JavaScript actions and streams, combined with the embedded executable, strongly suggests the document is designed to download and execute a second-stage payload. The PDF also uses parser-evasion techniques, further indicating malicious intent. The ClamAV detection of 'Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject' reinforces the malicious classification.

Heuristics 9

Embedded Windows executable payload in PDF stream critical PDF_EMBEDDED_PE_PAYLOAD

PDF stream bytes contain an embedded Windows executable with a verified PE header. Exploit chains often hide droppers inside ordinary streams rather than standard /EmbeddedFile attachments.
ClamAV: Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

ClamAV detected this file as malware: Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject
Launch action high PDF_LAUNCH

PDF contains a /Launch action with an unresolved or extension-less target — treat as potentially dangerous
Clickable PDF combines external action with parser-evasion structure high PDF_ACTION_PARSER_EVASION

PDF has an external clickable URI together with object graph or xref structures that make parsers disagree, such as divergent duplicate objects, parser divergence, or xref offset mismatch. That combination is stronger than a plain link: the document is both an outward-action carrier and a parser-confusion/evasion sample.
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
External URI info PDF_URI

PDF contains an external URL action
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.
