MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF contains embedded JavaScript, which is further obfuscated using an eval() call. The ML classifier strongly indicates maliciousness. The extracted JavaScript file, 'javascript_obj0001_000.js', is the primary artifact. The script's purpose is to execute obfuscated code, likely to download and run a second-stage payload.

Machine Learning

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 0.9998

Heuristics 4

  • 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.
  • 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.
