MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF contains embedded JavaScript, which is flagged by multiple heuristics including PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS. The presence of a high-severity PDF_EVAL rule indicates that the JavaScript is likely obfuscated and uses eval() to execute arbitrary code. The ML classifier strongly supports the malicious nature of the file. The embedded JavaScript file, javascript_obj0001_000.js, is the primary IOC. The script's intent is to download and execute a second-stage payload.

Machine Learning

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 1.0000

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.
  • 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.
