The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. A high-severity PDF_EVAL heuristic firing suggests the use of eval() within the JavaScript, which is commonly used to de-obfuscate and execute malicious code. The benign URLs extracted do not provide further clues, and no document body text was available for analysis. The primary function appears to be the execution of arbitrary code via JavaScript.

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 0.9761

Heuristics 4

  • JavaScript action low 2 related findings PDF_JAVASCRIPT
    PDF contains a /JavaScript action. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules. (matched inside decoded stream)
  • PDF JavaScript exploit cluster critical PDF_JS_EXPLOIT_CLUSTER
    PDF combines an executable JavaScript/action surface with exploit staging indicators such as eval/unescape/fromCharCode, XFA script content, or a related CVE pattern. Benign form JavaScript remains low-severity, but this correlated cluster is high-confidence malicious behavior.
    Matched line in script
    /*fGhkjkDFhkhsfd <FDSJHFhkjkjSDFkj> FDKLFJHklfkldshfSLDf*/ eval(hvkoa6); /*fGhkjkDFhkhsfd <FDSJHFhkjkjSDFkj> FDKLFJHklfkldshfSLDf*/
  • 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. (matched inside decoded stream)
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
