T1059.007 JavaScript
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment
T1140 Deobfuscate/Decode Files or Information
The PDF file contains obfuscated JavaScript code within an embedded stream. This script is designed to deobfuscate and likely execute a secondary payload, as indicated by the 'PDF_ENCRYPTED_WITH_JS' heuristic. The ML classifier strongly suggests malicious intent. The primary IOC is the embedded JavaScript file itself.

-
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.
