MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. The critical ClamAV detection and the 'Suspicious extracted artifact' heuristic further confirm its malicious nature. The JavaScript stream, named 'javascript_obj0007_000.js', is likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload, a common technique for PDF-based malware droppers. The ASCIIHexDecode filter also suggests obfuscation techniques used to hide malicious content.

ClamAV: Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7324878-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7324878-0
ASCIIHexDecode filter (with exploit indicators) medium PDF_FILTER_HEX

Hex-encoding filter present alongside exploit delivery indicators — often used to hide payload or shellcode bytes
Suspicious extracted artifact medium 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.
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
