MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell

This PDF file contains multiple embedded JavaScript streams, with a high-confidence heuristic indicating the use of eval(). The presence of 'PDF_EVAL' and 'PDF_JAVASCRIPT' firings strongly suggests that the embedded JavaScript is being executed to perform malicious actions. The 'SE_INVOICE_LURE' heuristic indicates the document's content is likely a social engineering lure, such as a fake invoice, to trick the user into interacting with the malicious JavaScript. The script's primary function appears to be downloading and executing a second-stage payload, though the specific URLs are benign or not extractable from the provided evidence.

Heuristics 7

  • eval() call high PDF_EVAL
    eval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution (matched inside decoded stream)
  • Unusually high stream count medium PDF_MANY_STREAMS
    PDF contains 501+ stream objects — may indicate heap spray or heavy obfuscation
  • 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. (matched inside decoded stream)
  • 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)
  • Fake invoice / payment lure low SE_INVOICE_LURE
    Document contains invoice or payment language paired with an action verb — useful context when combined with link, macro, or attachment indicators
  • 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.
  • 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.
