MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, flagged by heuristics as suspicious and containing an eval() call. The ML classifier strongly indicates maliciousness. The JavaScript stream, named 'javascript_obj0007_000.js', is obfuscated and likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload. The specific obfuscation and lack of clear indicators prevent definitive family attribution.

Machine Learning

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 1.0000

Heuristics 4

  • eval() call high PDF_EVAL
    eval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution (matched inside decoded stream)
  • 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.
