T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, flagged by multiple heuristics as malicious. The JavaScript stream, named 'javascript_obj0011_000.js', is likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload. The ML classifier strongly indicates malicious intent, and the presence of JavaScript actions within the PDF structure supports this. The exact nature of the payload cannot be determined from the provided evidence.

Heuristics 3

  • Page-word XOR JavaScript eval stager high PDF_PAGE_WORD_XOR_EVAL_STAGER
    PDF JavaScript enumerates rendered page words with getPageNthWord/getPageNumWords, extracts encoded byte fragments, XOR-decodes the stage with char-code helpers, and evals the result. This is an old exploit-kit staging pattern and is not normal document JavaScript.
  • 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.
