MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File: User Execution: Malicious File

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. The JavaScript stream utilizes `eval()` and `String.fromCharCode`, suggesting obfuscation to hide malicious code. This script is likely responsible for exploiting a vulnerability within the PDF reader to download and execute a secondary payload, as suggested by the ClamAV detection 'Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-94'. No specific family could be identified, but the attack pattern is consistent with a PDF-based exploit dropper.

Heuristics 6

ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-94 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-94
eval() call high PDF_EVAL

eval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution (matched inside decoded stream)
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.
