T1059.001 PowerShell
The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by multiple heuristic firings including PDF_JAVASCRIPT, PDF_JS, and PDF_EVAL. The PDF_LAUNCH heuristic suggests an attempt to execute an external action. The embedded JavaScript stream, named javascript_obj0027_000.js, likely contains obfuscated code that uses eval() to execute arbitrary commands, a common technique for downloading and running second-stage payloads. The document body is heavily corrupted and unreadable, providing no further context.
Heuristics 5
-
Launch action high PDF_LAUNCHPDF contains a /Launch action with an unresolved or extension-less target — treat as potentially dangerous
-
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.
