T1059.007 JavaScript
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment
The PDF file is flagged as malicious by an ML classifier and contains embedded JavaScript, which is used to obfuscate the payload. The presence of PDF_ENCRYPTED_WITH_JS indicates that the JavaScript is likely responsible for decrypting and executing the malicious content, which is a common technique for delivering second-stage payloads. The extracted JavaScript artifact, javascript_obj0024_001.js, is included as an IOC.

Heuristics 4
-
Encrypted PDF carries /OpenAction — payload hidden from static analysis high PDF_ENCRYPTED_WITH_JSPDF declares /Encrypt and also references an executable trigger (/OpenAction). Document encryption hides the JavaScript body and stream contents from static scanners — combined with auto-execution indicators this is a known evasion pattern used to deliver weaponised JavaScript that the analyst cannot inspect without the decryption key.
-
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.
