MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell
The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by multiple PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. The presence of a critical PDF_EVAL heuristic and the use of String.fromCharCode suggest obfuscation. The extracted JavaScript file, javascript_obj0005_000.js, is likely responsible for executing malicious code, potentially downloading a second-stage payload. The ClamAV detection of 'Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject' further supports the malicious nature of the file.
Heuristics 6
-
ClamAV: Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject critical CLAMAV_DETECTIONClamAV detected this file as malware: Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject
-
eval() call high PDF_EVALeval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution
-
JavaScript action low PDF_JAVASCRIPTPDF contains a /JavaScript action. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
-
Embedded JS stream low PDF_JSPDF references a /JS stream. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
-
String.fromCharCode low PDF_FROMCHARCODEString.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_TRIAGEOne 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.
