MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file was flagged by ClamAV as Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35541, indicating a known exploit. Heuristics confirm the presence of embedded JavaScript with eval() calls and fromCharCode, suggesting obfuscated code execution. The ML classifier also strongly indicated maliciousness. The primary attack vector appears to be a PDF exploit that leverages JavaScript to likely download and execute a second-stage payload, as indicated by the 'PDF_LAUNCH' and 'PDF_JAVASCRIPT' heuristics.

ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35541 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35541
Launch action high PDF_LAUNCH

PDF contains a /Launch action with an unresolved or extension-less target — treat as potentially dangerous
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. (matched inside decoded stream)
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.
