T1059.007 JavaScript
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment
The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript that utilizes an eval() call, indicating an attempt to execute arbitrary code. The ML classifier strongly flags this PDF as malicious. The JavaScript stream is highly obfuscated and truncated, but its presence and the eval() call strongly suggest it's designed to exploit a vulnerability and download a secondary payload.

Heuristics 4
-
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.
-
eval() call high PDF_EVALeval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution (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.
