T1059.001 PowerShell
The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript streams that are heavily obfuscated using hex escape sequences. The heuristics indicate suspicious JavaScript actions and unescape calls, suggesting the script is designed to download and execute a second-stage payload. The obfuscation makes it difficult to determine the exact nature of the payload or its final destination, hence the unknown family attribution.
Heuristics 4
-
unescape() call high PDF_UNESCAPEunescape() found — often used to decode shellcode in PDF JS exploits
-
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.
