MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious Link

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, with a high-confidence heuristic detecting an eval() call. This suggests the script is designed to execute arbitrary code, likely to download and run a second-stage payload. The presence of JavaScript actions and optional content groups further supports this attack vector. No specific family could be identified.

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.
  • Optional Content Group with action trigger low PDF_OPTIONAL_CONTENT
    Optional Content Group (layer) co-occurs with an action trigger — content can be selectively hidden from viewers or scanners while the action still fires on open
