MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 Command and Scripting Interpreter: PowerShell T1027 Obfuscated Files or Information

The PDF contains embedded JavaScript, with heuristics indicating obfuscation and the use of eval() and String.fromCharCode. The embedded JavaScript streams, javascript_obj111611_000.js and javascript_obj111612_001.js, are likely responsible for executing malicious code. The exact payload and execution method are obscured by the obfuscation, preventing a more detailed analysis of the script's intent.

Heuristics 5

  • 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.
  • String.fromCharCode low PDF_FROMCHARCODE
    String.fromCharCode found — used to construct payload strings dynamically. Common in benign JavaScript libraries for codepoint manipulation, so this alone is informational; weaponised use is also caught by the dedicated fromCharCode-stage and exploit-shape rules. (matched inside decoded stream)
  • 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.
