MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 JavaScript T1204.002 Malicious JavaScript

This PDF file contains embedded JavaScript that utilizes an eval() function, a common technique for executing obfuscated or dynamically generated code. The heuristics indicate a PDF JavaScript exploit cluster, strongly suggesting the script is designed to download and execute a secondary malicious payload. The ML classifier also flagged this PDF as highly malicious.

Heuristics 5

PDF JavaScript exploit cluster critical PDF_JS_EXPLOIT_CLUSTER

PDF combines an executable JavaScript/action surface with exploit staging indicators such as eval/unescape/fromCharCode, XFA script content, or a related CVE pattern. Benign form JavaScript remains low-severity, but this correlated cluster is high-confidence malicious behavior.
eval() call high PDF_EVAL

eval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution
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.
