T1059.001 PowerShell
The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by multiple heuristic firings including 'PDF_JAVASCRIPT', 'PDF_JS', and 'PDF_UNESCAPE'. The 'EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE' heuristic specifically flagged 'javascript_obj0022_000.js' as suspicious due to obfuscation. This JavaScript is likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload, a common technique for initial access or further infection. The document body was unreadable, so the rationale is based solely on the script and associated heuristics.
Heuristics 4
-
unescape() call high PDF_UNESCAPEunescape() found — often used to decode shellcode in PDF JS exploits (matched inside decoded stream)
-
Suspicious extracted artifact medium EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGEOne 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.
-
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.
