MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by multiple heuristic firings related to PDF JavaScript and `String.fromCharCode`. The ClamAV detection `Js.Trojan.Obfus-48` and the presence of obfuscated JavaScript streams (`javascript_obj0105_000.js`, `javascript_obj0105_001.js`) strongly suggest malicious intent. The JavaScript appears to decode and execute a payload, as evidenced by the `eval(pd)` call and the reconstructed string `app.alert("123", 2, 2);`, likely serving as a downloader for further malicious activity.

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Js.Trojan.Obfus-48 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Js.Trojan.Obfus-48
  • 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.
