MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF file was flagged as malicious by an ML classifier and contains embedded JavaScript streams. Heuristics indicate JavaScript actions and the use of unescape() for obfuscation. The extracted JavaScript files, 'javascript_obj0020_000.js' and 'javascript_obj0020_001.js', are likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload, which is a common technique for malware delivery.

Heuristics 4

  • unescape() call high PDF_UNESCAPE
    unescape() found — often used to decode shellcode in PDF JS exploits
  • Suspicious extracted artifact medium 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.
  • 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.
