T1059.001 Command and Scripting Interpreter: PowerShell
T1204.002 Malicious Use of Legitimate Software: Malicious File
The PDF contains embedded JavaScript, flagged by multiple heuristics including PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS. The ML classifier strongly indicates maliciousness. The JavaScript stream, named javascript_obj0001_000.js, likely contains obfuscated code designed to execute arbitrary commands, as suggested by the PDF_EVAL heuristic. This points to a common attack pattern of using malicious documents to deliver further stages of an attack.

Heuristics 4
-
eval() call high PDF_EVALeval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution (matched inside decoded stream)
-
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.
