MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, which is flagged by multiple heuristics including PDF_JAVASCRIPT, PDF_JS, and PDF_EVAL due to the presence of an eval() call. The ML classifier also strongly indicates maliciousness. The JavaScript is likely responsible for executing a malicious payload, but its obfuscation prevents a more detailed analysis of its specific actions or reconstructed IOCs. The file's authoring application also appears suspicious.

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.
