T1059.001 PowerShell
The PDF file contains embedded and obfuscated JavaScript, indicated by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. The ML_NYX_PDF_MALICIOUS classifier strongly suggests malicious intent. The unescape() call further points to obfuscation techniques commonly used to hide malicious code. The primary function of the embedded JavaScript appears to be downloading and executing a secondary payload, as evidenced by the ML classifier and the presence of obfuscated script content. No specific malware family could be confidently identified.

Heuristics 4
-
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.
