MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell
The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, flagged by multiple heuristics as malicious. The ML classifier strongly indicates maliciousness. The JavaScript stream, named 'javascript_obj0007_000.js', is obfuscated and likely responsible for downloading and executing a secondary payload. The specific intent of the script could not be fully determined due to obfuscation, but its presence is a strong indicator of malicious activity.
Machine Learning
- Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 1.0000
Heuristics 5
-
unescape() call high PDF_UNESCAPEunescape() found — often used to decode shellcode in PDF JS exploits (matched inside decoded stream)
-
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.
-
PDF differential parser failed info PDF_DIFFERENTIAL_PARSE_FAILEDThe cross-check parser (pdfminer.six) failed on this file: PDF differential parser failed: PSSyntaxError. Static heuristics still ran and any of their findings above are valid; only the differential cross-check signal is missing.
-
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.
