MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. The presence of a PDF_EVAL firing suggests that the JavaScript is being executed, likely to exploit a vulnerability within the PDF reader. The ML classifier strongly supports a malicious classification. The embedded JavaScript file, javascript_obj0013_001.js, is the primary artifact, and its execution is the most probable attack vector, likely leading to the download of additional malicious content.

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.
