MITRE ATT&CK
T1204.002 Malicious File: Malicious JavaScript

The PDF contains embedded JavaScript and utilizes ASCIIHexDecode and ASCII85Decode filters, which are commonly used to obfuscate malicious code within PDF documents. The ML classifier strongly indicates malicious intent. While no specific URLs or hashes were extracted, the presence of these obfuscation techniques and embedded JavaScript suggests the PDF is likely intended to exploit a vulnerability and execute a malicious payload.

Machine Learning

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 1.0000

Heuristics 4

  • ASCIIHexDecode filter (with exploit indicators) medium PDF_FILTER_HEX
    Hex-encoding filter present alongside exploit delivery indicators — often used to hide payload or shellcode bytes
  • 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.
  • ASCII85Decode filter (with exploit indicators) low PDF_FILTER_85
    ASCII85 encoding filter present alongside exploit delivery indicators — uncommon outside of obfuscation
