MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript streams, indicated by PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. The presence of PDF_UNESCAPE and suspicious extracted artifacts suggests obfuscation and potential exploit activity. The embedded JavaScript files, javascript_obj0027_000.js and javascript_obj0027_001.js, are likely responsible for executing malicious code, possibly by leveraging a PDF vulnerability to achieve arbitrary code execution.

Heuristics 4

unescape() call high PDF_UNESCAPE

unescape() found — often used to decode shellcode in PDF JS exploits
Suspicious extracted artifact medium 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.
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.
