T1059.001 PowerShell
The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript streams, indicated by PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. The presence of PDF_EVAL and PDF_UNESCAPE firings suggests that the JavaScript is obfuscated and likely attempts to execute arbitrary code. The extracted JavaScript files, javascript_obj0015_000.js and javascript_obj0017_001.js, are suspicious artifacts. The obfuscated nature of the script prevents a definitive analysis of its exact payload, but the techniques used strongly indicate a downloader or dropper functionality.
Heuristics 5
-
eval() call high PDF_EVALeval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution (matched inside decoded stream)
-
unescape() call high PDF_UNESCAPEunescape() found — often used to decode shellcode in PDF JS exploits (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.
-
Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGEOne 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.
