MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF file was flagged as malicious by an ML classifier and contains embedded JavaScript. Heuristics indicate a JavaScript eval stager, suggesting the script is designed to de-obfuscate and execute further malicious code. The extracted JavaScript stream, 'javascript_obj0011_000.js', is the primary artifact of this malicious behavior. The document body is heavily obfuscated and does not provide clear textual lures.

Machine Learning

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 1.0000

Heuristics 3

  • Page-word XOR JavaScript eval stager high PDF_PAGE_WORD_XOR_EVAL_STAGER
    PDF 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_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.
