T1059.001 PowerShell
The PDF contains embedded JavaScript, flagged by multiple heuristics as a stager. The ML classifier strongly indicates maliciousness. The JavaScript stream, named 'javascript_obj0011_000.js', is likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload, a common technique for initial access.

-
Page-word XOR JavaScript eval stager high PDF_PAGE_WORD_XOR_EVAL_STAGERPDF 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_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.
