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.

Heuristics 4
-
eval() call high PDF_EVALeval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution (matched inside decoded stream)
-
JavaScript action low PDF_JAVASCRIPTPDF contains a /JavaScript action. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
-
Embedded JS stream low PDF_JSPDF references a /JS stream. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
