MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, flagged by multiple heuristics as a stager. The ML classifier strongly indicates maliciousness. The JavaScript is likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload, as suggested by the 'PDF_PAGE_WORD_XOR_EVAL_STAGER' heuristic. No specific family could be identified, but the delivery mechanism points to a common phishing or malware distribution technique.

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 1.0000

Heuristics 4

  • Page-word XOR JavaScript eval stager high PDF_PAGE_WORD_XOR_EVAL_STAGER
    PDF JavaScript enumerates rendered page words with getPageNthWord/getPageNumWords, extracts encoded byte fragments, XOR-decodes the stage with char-code helpers, and evals the result. This is an old exploit-kit staging pattern and is not normal document JavaScript.
  • 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.
