This PDF file exhibits multiple high-severity heuristic firings related to JavaScript execution and launching external actions. The presence of an embedded JavaScript stream and an eval() call strongly suggests an attempt to execute arbitrary code. The ML classifier also flagged this PDF as malicious with high confidence. While the exact payload is not clear due to obfuscation, the techniques indicate a malicious intent to exploit the PDF viewer.
Machine Learning
- Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 1.0000
Heuristics 5
-
Launch action high PDF_LAUNCHPDF contains a /Launch action with an unresolved or extension-less target — treat as potentially dangerous
-
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.
-
