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

The PDF file exhibits multiple indicators of malicious activity, including embedded JavaScript and a Flash object. The presence of `eval()` calls and obfuscated JavaScript streams suggests an attempt to execute arbitrary code. The ClamAV detection for 'Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject' further supports its malicious nature. The embedded Flash file and JavaScript stream are the primary artifacts likely used to deliver the malicious payload.

Heuristics 7

  • ClamAV: Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject
  • RichMedia (Flash) high PDF_RICHMEDIA
    PDF contains /RichMedia (Adobe Flash) which is a historic exploit vector
  • 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.
  • Embedded file low PDF_EMBEDDED
    PDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload
  • 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.
