T1059.007 JavaScript
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment
The PDF contains embedded JavaScript, identified by heuristics as an exploit cluster. The script attempts to download a second-stage payload from a reconstructed URL, which is then likely executed. The presence of JavaScript and exploit indicators strongly suggests a malicious document designed to compromise the user's system.
Machine Learning
- Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 1.0000
Heuristics 5
-
PDF JavaScript exploit cluster critical PDF_JS_EXPLOIT_CLUSTERPDF combines an executable JavaScript/action surface with exploit staging indicators such as eval/unescape/fromCharCode, XFA script content, or a related CVE pattern. Benign form JavaScript remains low-severity, but this correlated cluster is high-confidence malicious behavior.
-
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.
