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

The critical ClamAV detection and ML classifier firing strongly indicate malicious intent. The presence of embedded JavaScript, identified by PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics, suggests an exploit is being used to run code. This JavaScript is likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload, as is common with PDF-based exploits.

  • 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 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.
