MITRE ATT&CK
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.

Heuristics 4

  • Encrypted PDF carries /OpenAction — payload hidden from static analysis high PDF_ENCRYPTED_WITH_JS
    PDF 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_JAVASCRIPT
    PDF contains a /JavaScript action. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
  • Embedded JS stream low PDF_JS
    PDF references a /JS stream. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
  • Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
    One 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.
