The PDF contains embedded JavaScript and a Flash object, both of which are commonly used to exploit vulnerabilities. The ML classifier strongly indicates maliciousness. The embedded artifacts 'ZdhyXAVZwLWfPiH.swf', 'javascript_obj0006_000.js', and 'legacy_pdfkit_stage_000.js' suggest the PDF is designed to download and execute additional malicious payloads, likely exploiting browser or PDF reader vulnerabilities.
Machine Learning
- Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 1.0000
Heuristics 6
-
RichMedia (Flash) high PDF_RICHMEDIAPDF contains /RichMedia (Adobe Flash) which is a historic exploit vector
-
eval() call high PDF_EVALeval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution
-
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.
-
Embedded file low PDF_EMBEDDEDPDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload
-
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.
