T1059.007 JavaScript
The PDF contains embedded JavaScript, flagged by multiple heuristics including PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS. The presence of a high-severity PDF_EVAL heuristic indicates the use of eval(), a common technique for obfuscating malicious JavaScript. The ML classifier strongly supports the malicious nature of the PDF. The extracted JavaScript file, javascript_obj0001_000.js, is the primary artifact, and its obfuscated nature suggests it is designed to download and execute a secondary payload.

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.
