MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.007 JavaScript T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1140 Deobfuscate/Decode Files or Information

The PDF contains embedded JavaScript that attempts to decode and execute content from an embedded file. The script reconstructs the string 'eval' and calls it with the decoded content, indicating an attempt to execute arbitrary code. The embedded file 'embedded_file_obj0012.bin' is likely the second-stage payload.

Heuristics 5

Malformed active-content stream length medium PDF_MALFORMED_EXPLOIT_STREAM_LENGTH

A PDF stream that carries active/exploit-looking content has a declared /Length that does not match the recovered stream body. Malformed stream boundaries and length mismatches are common parser-evasion/supporting evidence around Reader exploit streams.
JavaScript action low 1 related finding 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.
Embedded file low PDF_EMBEDDED

PDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload
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.

Extracted artifacts 2

Files carved from inside the sample during analysis.

Filename	Kind	Source	Size
`embedded_file_obj0012.bin`	pdf-embedded-file	PDF EmbeddedFile object 12 at offset 0x428	149220 bytes

Detection ClamAV: No threats found Obfuscation or payload: likely 323 of 323 identifiers look randomly generated (e.g. 'UZc73CRRJOEMjT8hx1UZc73CRRJOEMjT8hx2UZc7') — consistent with name-mangling obfuscation. Carved artifact contains 145 long base64-like blob(s).
