MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript streams that are heavily obfuscated using unescape() calls and hex escape sequences. These scripts are indicative of a downloader attempting to fetch and execute additional malicious content. The presence of multiple obfuscated JavaScript objects and the 'unescape()' heuristic strongly suggest this malicious behavior.

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.
