MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.007 JavaScript T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

The sample is a PDF file containing obfuscated JavaScript. The JavaScript is designed to decode and execute further malicious code, likely to download and run a second-stage payload. The 'PDF_PAGE_WORD_XOR_EVAL_STAGER' heuristic confirms this stager-like behavior.

Machine Learning

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 1.0000

Heuristics 3

  • Page-word XOR JavaScript eval stager high PDF_PAGE_WORD_XOR_EVAL_STAGER
    PDF JavaScript enumerates rendered page words with getPageNthWord/getPageNumWords, extracts encoded byte fragments, XOR-decodes the stage with char-code helpers, and evals the result. This is an old exploit-kit staging pattern and is not normal document JavaScript.
  • 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.
