T1059.007 JavaScript
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution
This PDF file was flagged as malicious by a machine learning classifier and exhibits characteristics of obfuscated JavaScript. The presence of PDF_ENCRYPTED_WITH_JS and PDF_JAVASCRIPT heuristics indicates that the JavaScript is used to conceal the actual malicious content, likely to download and execute a secondary payload. No specific family could be identified due to the obfuscation.

Heuristics 4
-
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.
