MITRE ATT&CK
T1204.002 Malicious File: Malicious File

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. This JavaScript is likely intended to download and execute a secondary payload, as suggested by the presence of an embedded file artifact. The document body text is not indicative of a specific lure. The confidence is moderate due to the lack of explicit script content for detailed analysis.

Machine Learning

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 0.9999

Heuristics 5

  • Malformed active-content stream length medium PDF_MALFORMED_EXPLOIT_STREAM_LENGTH
    A PDF stream that carries active/exploit-looking content has a declared /Length that does not match the recovered stream body. Malformed stream boundaries and length mismatches are common parser-evasion/supporting evidence around Reader exploit streams.
  • JavaScript action low 1 related finding 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.
  • Embedded file low PDF_EMBEDDED
    PDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload
  • 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.

Detection
ClamAV: No threats found
Obfuscation or payload: likely
256 of 256 identifiers look randomly generated (e.g. 'vtXguQPnnlDOW56o1vtXguQPnnlDOW56o2vtXguQ') — consistent with name-mangling obfuscation. Carved artifact contains 97 long base64-like blob(s).
