MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.007 Scripting: JavaScript

This PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, which is obfuscated using eval() and unescape() calls. The JavaScript is likely intended to download and execute a second-stage payload. The heuristics indicate suspicious script obfuscation and the presence of a JavaScript object. Due to the obfuscation, the exact payload and delivery mechanism cannot be confidently determined.

Heuristics 5

  • eval() call high PDF_EVAL
    eval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution
  • unescape() call high PDF_UNESCAPE
    unescape() found — often used to decode shellcode in PDF JS exploits
  • 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.
  • Suspicious extracted artifact info 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.
