MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 JavaScript/Shell T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by multiple heuristic firings including PDF_JAVASCRIPT, PDF_JS, and PDF_EVAL. The ML classifier also flagged this PDF with high confidence. The embedded JavaScript streams, named javascript_obj111611_000.js and javascript_obj111612_001.js, are likely responsible for executing malicious code. The exact payload and execution flow are not fully discernible due to potential obfuscation, but the presence of eval() and String.fromCharCode suggests dynamic code execution.

Machine Learning

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 1.0000

Heuristics 5

  • eval() call high PDF_EVAL
    eval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution (matched inside decoded stream)
  • 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.
  • String.fromCharCode low PDF_FROMCHARCODE
    String.fromCharCode found — used to construct payload strings dynamically. Common in benign JavaScript libraries for codepoint manipulation, so this alone is informational; weaponised use is also caught by the dedicated fromCharCode-stage and exploit-shape rules. (matched inside decoded stream)
  • Suspicious extracted artifact info 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.
