T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF file was detected as malicious by ClamAV with the signature Pdf.Dropper.Agent-5341883-0. Static analysis revealed embedded JavaScript, including the use of String.fromCharCode, indicating obfuscation techniques common in malicious documents. The presence of a JavaScript action and an embedded JS stream suggests the script is intended to execute malicious code, likely to download and run a second-stage payload.

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Pdf.Dropper.Agent-5341883-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Dropper.Agent-5341883-0
  • 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.
